Replying To Spinx: "As expected, Clonguish fielded a shadow squad tonight. From what I was told, they had 7 of their minor players starting tonight, 5 of which are underage for minor again next year. They will probably do the same again next week. If they lose that, they are more than likely gone." Is it not 3 teams qualifying? So they could possibly lose 2 and still qualify for semi final.

This forum seems to revolve around the affairs of Clonguish as many of the contributors are from Clonguish. On a topic of interest for the majority of us what is the latest on the County management position. Players will be returning to pre season shortly. I can only assume that it will be a Longford man as any potential outside candidate will not get a chance now to look at new blood for upcoming season which is an important one playing in D3 B&G (Longford) - Posts: 461 - 17/10/2026 13:42:53 2697638 Link
Clonguish don't play the Downs until the 1st of November . I'm sure a lot of those young lads could've played last night. Unfortunate predicament for how young there team is but hardly the county boards fault. They could've played if they like - I imagine the senior management has told them not to but that is a club problem. Everything can't be the county boards fault Paidi04 (Westmeath) - Posts: 39 - 17/10/2026 13:45:15 2697639 Link

There was 4 or 5 missing altogether. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1622 - 17/10/2026 14:17:25 2697643 Link
Posting here for the first time in a week......been a long few days celebrating last week. What a performance by the team to get over the line. A great few days were had! Onto the game last night. Senior management told the players they could play. A few of our lads did not play, as they were carrying a few knocks, so they weren't risked. It was the under 21 management decision to ease our senior lads in, as the celebrations went on until Thursday!! On the case of the game been moved, it was agreed to move it to Sunday but then they changed their minds. Bad form on their part considering last year, they were in the same situation. We met them the following week after the senior final and agreed then, to move the game to the Sunday. They have their reasons for changing their mind to move it back to last night, and considering how many senior players we have in our under 21 team, it doesn't take a scientist to work out why they did!

Replying To Spinx: "They could be out of the under 21 after 2 rounds and the drive for 5 will be dead in the water!" Bit early for talking about thr drive for 5. I recall it been spoken about during acceptance speech after 2 in a row a while ago. It backfired the following year. I think they should concentrate on a back to back.

They have already done 4 in a row, so a bit late for you to say they have to do back to back first lol Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 1067 - 17/10/2026 17:06:26 2697661 Link

Replying To Spinx: "B&G.....you do know they have 4 won in a row already?!!" I'm bringing a suggestion to our next AGM to fold the club for a few years. Relegated to Junior with our senior team and tonight our under 21s took an awful hammering. Things are not good in Monaduff. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1622 - 17/10/2026 22:55:53 2697692 Link
I never knew you could go to other clubs agms and vote. I must go do the same at clonguishes and save us all for the next few years!!! slasher9 (Longford) - Posts: 276 - 18/10/2026 17:39:50 2697761 Link

It is not right having a go at neighbouring clubs who do not have the same playing resources as yourselves. B&G (Longford) - Posts: 461 - 19/10/2026 17:48:11 2697938 Link

Are you on about me having a go at a neighbouring club?? Please point that out to me, as I am in no poisition to have a pop at anyones club, considering how my club has faired this year.

Still no white smoke on a senior manager in either football or hurling. You would have to wonder what on earth is going on, bar Frankie Dolan has there been anybody even close to the job, apart from rumours of Sean Hagan and Mickey Graham there is no sign of anyone to take the footballers. The team will be on the back foot compared to other division 3 teams, relegation almost a certainty if there isn't movement soon. Both hurlers and footballers had highly positive seasons in 2026 and it looks like 2027 is going to be yet another wasted year on the intercounty scene. We can look forward to seeing how our u17 leinster champions get on at U20 level and how other counties have developed in those 3 seasons.

It's just not announced yet. It will be announced after this weekend when the Leitrim senior final is over. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1622 - 21/10/2026 14:14:08 2698118 Link
