Replying To Mooo: "Give them a chance they'll be a lot stronger nextyear..louth had 11 of last year's lenister winning team playing last night so they ought to be a lot stronger than us" That would mean that a very young louth team last year were able for it so.

Is there any interest at all in your hurlers performance today? Donegal played really well. Victory was stolen from them at the death. You have a nice hurlers in wing back, number 7, Gavin Browne. He got a peach of a goal.

Some exhibition of scoring from the sharpest shoot in the county.... how has he not been utilised by PJ? Is it his commitment? His temperament?" I've said numerous times here he should be on the panel. He keeps teams very honest in their defending as he will punish nearly any free within 50m from the goals. He has kept Mountbellew-Moylough competitive for the past few years. Mr Joyce, lift and phone and invite him back in.

Going to find somewhere to lie down now." Great observation. It's a great great result. It proves that there is a never say die spirit in that camp, long missing in our big ball players. 2026 will live long in hurling memories

Great result yesterday. Full credit to Joe Murphy and his team for the turn around within a year. The results in the league speak for themselves and indeed in the wider historic context.
It was clear we had a gameplan -and rigidly adhered to it. It worked and we got over the line. Some of the players 'sacrificed' their more instinctive game for our possession-based strategy. I did feel we let them back into it on numerous occasions - some gift wrapped scores for them - and failed on several occasions to kick on when in control. Saying that, I do feel the more experience some of the younger lads get the better. The kick-out when it worked (most of the time), it worked very well.
It could be argued the sending off was the decisive factor, but I do feel we still on balance had enough to do it. However towards the end whether it was game management, tiredness or fear of mistake it was still one score for them to equalise and we we still passing around - they secured possession and had a half goal chance near the death. I feel we should have ran at them more to close it out - when we did we created opportunities - we had fresh legs on at that point - Clarke and Choo Choo with huge pace. Anyway that is all moot now, we got there.
Unfair to single out players for praise or criticism Great spread of scorers, subs who came on added to our tally. It also sounds obvious, but what was heartening was the IMMENSE work-rate of the players. Lads got stuck in all over the pitch - a complete team performance with no show ponies.
Onwards to Wicklow next !!

2 even contests last night to conclude the division 3 and 4 campaigns, good to see teams showing desire to win league trophy.
The DJ at Croke Park needs to update his playlist, they have been playing Beautiful Day(U2) and Tonight's gonna Be a good night(Black Eyed Peas) after finals for about 20 years now

Replying To mickcunningham: "Big step up from playing secondary schools football to adult football Louth are on a different level of everything than us . To be blunt we have nothing" Makes it more bizarre that we are denying lads at u18 the chance to get that experience in club championships.

2 very entertaining games of football yesterday. The Division 4 game was arguably the better game
It was great to see Carlow celebrate the win. It showed it really mattered. Down, by contrast, were very muted and almost arrogant in how they behaved considering Wexford had more than enough chances to beat them in normal time. They probably butchered 1-3 or 1-4 in 3rd quarter. Down did butcher the winning shot on the buzzer though. Still i like to see a team celebrate when they win something in Croke Park.

That's all the world needs now." wow, you really are low info. The US and Israel have kept Suez open by fighting the Houthis for a good while now.

Replying To Undertheroad: "Totally agree Mick my question is where are all the players that should be available and in there last year. As soon as we go out of the championship the stark reality is the under 20s will be forgotten about until next year again with nothing done in keeping the youngest lads together as a group. No forward thinking going on on how to put structures in place. End of the day it was Louth that won not your Dublin or Kerry and if we in Westmeath can't get to the level that Louth are at we are at nothing." yes i agree our structures are all wrong . but sometimes i ask have we ambition at any level . i watched the division 3
final yesterday evening and although wexford came up short they showed heart and an immense pride in the purple and gold . sometimes i dont see that pride in the wearers of the maroon and white . just on our under 20s louth are a lot more advanced than we are and will be stronger as they progress further

They won't be as arrogant in a couple of weeks time when Donegal give them a footballing lesson. Laverty has them playing the Kilkoo brand of football which is unwatchable.

Congratulations to Carlow on a great win in Croke Park. It was a great game for the neutrals and both teams were out on their feet at the end. Carlow were the better team but the red card decisively tilted it away from a resilient Longford team. Games like this underpin the need to further develop proper championship structures for all counties. A space is now needed on the wall in the Irishman's for Carlow footballers 2026.

Barry McHugh scored 14 points for M/M yesterday in the league which included a mixture 5 or 6 2ptfs both from the ground and his hands. Some exhibition of scoring from the sharpest shoot in the county.... how has he not been utilised by PJ? Is it his commitment? His temperament?

Replying To PressureKick: "Galway also have 9 all Ireland wins though. Mayo have 3. Ultimately that's what both are measuring each other against.
Your previous comment was saying there's nothing between Galway, Mayo and Roscommon. I get you may be getting caught up in a bit of hype, running up the score on Monaghan and a Roscommon B team, but that still seems a bit optimistic at this point?
Mayo haven't made a quarter final since 2023. Even the last two quarter finals they made, they were absolutely hockeyed out the gate. Galway have been in two finals in that time. Even last year, a year where Galway barely played well once, they still won Connacht and were a point away from a semi final. Mayo limped through (and out) of Connacht and got knocked out at the first all Ireland stage. They haven't won a Connacht in a long time
Roscommon have had a great league and have huge promises but got hammered by a makeshift Galway team in Connacht last year and like Mayo, haven't made a semi final in a long time. So again , they'll have to make a big jump to get to the point you're suggesting
Both of those teams years will be geared around stopping Galway winning 5 in a row. Galway's sights, rightly or wrongly, will be set upon making quarter and semi finals" Lol typical Galwegion comment .
Ye got beaten by Meath who knocked ye out I mean really tbe arrogance out of ye ..
Mayo nearly beat in Connacht and where well off it last year.......
Ye wont win connacht . Ye are the most overated team ever ..!

Brave effort indeed. We were excellent in 2nd half and left a few scores behind. A real pity we could not close it out. The ref gave us nothing.
When we were on top in midfield we were flying but lost that battle in extra time.
Can't fault any of them tho. Played their hearts out.
