Replying To Oddball: "I heard on good authority that this is not a shock the the CB. Apparently both statements were released last night but decision was made weeks ago. And also the new or old manager has already been offered the job. Denis Connerton is taking it again after re-signing from Garrycastle. Apparently he re-signed so he can fully commit to Longford by attending all games possible no mattee, Senior, Intermediate or Junior. The CB seem to be going backwards!" Dennis is not taking the job williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 340 - 22/07/2022 11:41:18 2433508 Link
County Board decision. Longford Leader says Ciaran Fox, Liam Keenan or Pat Flanagan. Hard to argue with any of them. If Micky Graham was available then he'd be a good choice. Mull93 (Longford) - Posts: 119 - 23/07/2022 11:54:32 2433656 Link
Anyone at the Ballymahon v Ardagh Moydow game. Looking at the score on Twitter it looks like Ardagh Moydow were getting well beaten but made some sort of comeback. Maybe there were substitutions or another reason for this. Based on that result though it doesn't look that Ardagh Moydow will be a contender but Ballymahon will be there or thereabouts again this year.

Replying To Mull93: "County Board decision. Longford Leader says Ciaran Fox, Liam Keenan or Pat Flanagan. Hard to argue with any of them. If Micky Graham was available then he'd be a good choice." I'd say someone like Dominic Corrigan would have his eye on the Longford job as well. He'd have lots of time on his hands to do it as well having retired from the day job recently. I doubt Mickey Graham is available but one for the future maybe. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 844 - 23/07/2022 12:10:44 2433664 Link

Ciaran fox for the reason he could get a few more St Columbus players in but I don't think that's the right reasons. Keenan would be out of his dept and won't get the buy in from players and why didn't he throw his name into the hat for it after leaving Mohill? Flanagan won't touch it either after been shafted last year. The county board should go hard after Graham, he will go from Cavan if it's worth it for him. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 340 - 23/07/2022 12:21:05 2433671 Link

If Micky Graham was available then he'd be a good choice." it was not a board decision, you think they want the hassel of finding a new manager after how it was left last minute last year?! this was the players with a couple leading the charge and would be better of looking at themselves then blaming management for poor results!! i would prefer to see a longford man take the job but mickey graham is as good as with his inside knowledge if he becomes available its a no brainer slasher9 (Longford) - Posts: 233 - 23/07/2022 13:20:24 2433684 Link

The CB might struggle to attract external interest. Will probably end up being a local, out of necessity more than anything else.

It was mentioned to me over the weekend that Dominic Corrigan would be interested in taking the job. One of his selectors would be his nephew Collie Clarke who would have good knowledge of the local scene. If they are going outside the county they need to get a manager in before the end of the group stages of the championship. Give the manager a chance to see players in action in competitive club football. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1236 - 24/07/2022 10:27:35 2433846 Link

Replying To B&G: "Who won the Leader Cup Final at weekend or was it played" Was down for Saturday last but reported as 'postponed' on county board social media late on Friday night. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 469 - 25/07/2022 17:51:24 2434390 Link
Replying To B&G: "Who won the Leader Cup Final at weekend or was it played" it wasn't played as both clubs agreed to playing after championship, wanted the break weekend liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 210 - 25/07/2022 17:53:20 2434391 Link
It was postponed for some reason. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1236 - 25/07/2022 20:42:55 2434428 Link
Have Killashee withdrawn from the senior championship ? Heard it this morning at work but they're still down to play in the fixture list. Ward30 (Longford) - Posts: 49 - 26/07/2022 13:01:16 2434540 Link
Replying To Spinx: "It was postponed for some reason." Colmcille couldn't field, riddled with injuries. Kilashee will compete in the senior championship williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 340 - 26/07/2022 14:34:58 2434590 Link
Killashee will have to play. If they don't the CB will hit them hard with suspensions and fines. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1236 - 26/07/2022 15:30:50 2434617 Link

Replying To williesboy: "Colmcille couldn't field, riddled with injuries. Kilashee will compete in the senior championship" Does that mean Colmcille conceded the Leader Cup final or that it was postponed until later because of various injuries?

Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "Does that mean Colmcille conceded the Leader Cup final or that it was postponed until later because of various injuries?" The game would have to be awarded to Mullinalaghta so. Didn't Colmcille forfeit a division 3 playoff a couple of weeks ago too because they couldn't field?
