The draw for next years Leinster Championship draw will take this Thur night on RTE 2 at 8.30 pm. Wee are in the Preliminary Round and wee can get Wicklow, Laois, Longford, Carlow, Wexford or Offaly. Wee might get a bye into the Quarter-Finals and get either Meath, Dublin, Westmeath or Kildare. I can feel it in my bones and feel wee might have a shot at Colin Kelly's Westmeath in the Quarter-Finals. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 14/10/2017 14:45:32 2055243 Link

They brought us to Athlone once in early 90s but we still won. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1706 - 15/10/2017 22:27:38 2055453 Link
Replying To 19616609: "They brought us to Athlone once in early 90s but we still won." Yep that was back in 1994. It was a first round clash. Louth won by a point. The reason it was in Athlone because Cusack Park in Mullingar was been redeveloped. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 16/10/2017 13:11:25 2055565 Link
I remember that. I think Ireland were playing in the 94 world cup in the states that day. I think if im not mistaken gary kelly scored that day. The ireland game was after the louth game. joej (Louth) - Posts: 1615 - 16/10/2017 15:06:18 2055583 Link

Gary Kelly who is a good Tones man scored his first goal for Ireland in that match. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 16/10/2017 17:04:33 2055609 Link

Westmeath were after getting to the semi of the old NFL , beating all Ireland champions Derry on route.. we were underdogs but dug out the win. White Kelly Gerry Curran and a young Alan Doherty figured prominently.. The O Hanlons were in exile in 94, having fallen out with Declan Smyth I think..they were a loss.. We hockeyed Carlow but Dublin beat us in the Leinster semi final by 7 or 8 points. No back door then sam57 (Louth) - Posts: 1502 - 16/10/2017 19:07:03 2055632 Link

Dublin had beating us in three of them and Meath, Laois and Offaly beat us in the other semi-final matches. After the nineties I thought I would never see the Wee County in a Leinster final.

Well the draw is on tonight. Who do wee want? I would not mind getting Offaly because we have not played them in a Championship since 2005. Then the winners face Westmeath in the quarter-finals. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 19/10/2017 11:19:03 2056177 Link

Worst possible draw,expected to win easily but it's gona be a very tricky game for louth. gooch13 (Louth) - Posts: 656 - 20/10/2017 10:19:27 2056474 Link
Replying To gooch13: "Worst possible draw,expected to win easily but it's gona be a very tricky game for louth." Probably in Navan sharpey (Louth) - Posts: 193 - 20/10/2017 11:43:02 2056511 Link
Replying To gooch13: "Worst possible draw,expected to win easily but it's gona be a very tricky game for louth." Gooch Carlow, Kildare, Wexford and Dublin on the way to Leinster glory in 2018. A bit like 1957. An Lu Abu! OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 20/10/2017 11:52:04 2056519 Link
Wee with be playing Carlow on the weekend of May 12th/13th. No venue decided yet. But it will probably be Parnell Park. The winners play Kildare. That will be on the weekend of May 26th/May27th. Could be in Croke Park as part of a double header? OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 01/11/2017 10:33:47 2059457 Link

Replying To MR: "Why not Navan, home game for Louth?" Louth and Carlow have played each other twelve times and only once have they played in Navan and that was in the great year of 1957. Wee are actually due to play a championship match in Navan. Wee have not played there in the Championship since 2012 when wee beat Westmeath with a last minute goal. The last two Louth and Carlow matches was in Portlaoise. Will wee be making a third trip in a row? OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 01/11/2017 15:38:49 2059555 Link
Louth and Carlow is fixed for Portlaoise as part of a double header with Offaly and Wicklow. The date has not yet been confirmed. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 15/11/2017 23:06:13 2062590 Link
