Replying To Oddball: "So what is the list of clubs in Longford who were looking for new managers? Clonguish - Dom Corrigan Dromard - Niall Vance Granard - Cashel - Grattans - I'm sure there's plenty that I have left out. Abbeylara, Mullinalaghta, Mostrim, Kenagh, Drumlish, Killashee, Sean Connollys......are any of these clubs looking for new managers.

Replying To Clonbonnyrabbitt: "Harkins to Mullineachta is an interesting one, he should suit their style" I wonder have they players back, Harkins wouldnt be going there to make up the numbers. maximus02 (Longford) - Posts: 220 - 11/12/2025 12:05:29 2647950 Link
Replying To maximus02: "I wonder have they players back, Harkins wouldnt be going there to make up the numbers." What players have Mullinalaghta to come back? I'd be thinking they could be losing a few due to their age profile. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 1003 - 11/12/2025 14:03:32 2647984 Link
Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "You can add Killoe to that list now. Jimmy Higgins gone to Naas to replace Philly McMahon." Is that a bit of a bombshell or had Higgins informed Killoe a few weeks ago that he would not be back next year? It seems a bit out of the blue and leaving Killoe in the lurch with finding a new manager. Is there any names being linked to them?

Been saying to a few other meath fans on the fan groups that i think Longford will beat westmeath to set up a Longford v Meath quater final in Leinster. whats longford fans thinking on this? my thoughts were westmeath are after losing a lot of key players since tailteann cup in 2022, and longford have a big rivalry/hatred with westmeath so id imagine they will be well motivated to beat the auld enemy in thoer own backyard in championship. added to this westmeath can be very poor when favourites in a match. dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 904 - 11/12/2025 14:31:32 2647989 Link
Replying To Oddball: "What players have Mullinalaghta to come back? I'd be thinking they could be losing a few due to their age profile." Rian Brady or John Keegan maybe. maximus02 (Longford) - Posts: 220 - 11/12/2025 15:16:44 2647995 Link

Not really a bombshell, got a bigger opportunity a couple of weeks ago, can't blame him for taking it. Wish him the best with Naas. I read that he is their 5th manager in 5 years, but it hasn't done them much harm with 4 Kildare SFC's and 2 Leinster finals in that time. He will do well with them. Nothing solid beyond wild guessing on his replacement at this point. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 645 - 11/12/2025 17:39:26 2648014 Link
Replying To maximus02: "Rian Brady or John Keegan maybe." Would those 2 lads not be near 30 and mid 30's? When was the last time Keegan kicked ball? Must be 3 or 3 years. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 1003 - 11/12/2025 20:56:39 2648032 Link
Replying To Oddball: "Would those 2 lads not be near 30 and mid 30's? When was the last time Keegan kicked ball? Must be 3 or 3 years." 2 or 3 years! Just re-read that and it sounds bad!! I'm not having a dig, it's just Keegan has being out of the game for a couple of years and I think suffered a few injuries before he finished up. Looking back on last year, the legs look to be gone on quite a few of the Mullinlaghta boys and there is nothing coming through from underage either.

Replying To Spinx: "Paddy Dowd has the Cashel job." Paddy Dowd did not take the job. He was asked, but he wants to play another year. He was asked if he would take it on as player/manager, but he said that it would not be possible to do both. Back to the drawing board for Cashel, but it did not take them long to find their new man.

Rian would be 27 or 28 that's not that old if came back OK out game but seems play a bit abroad that said ye hard see them winning again overall but 28 isn't that old.

Replying To Spinx: "Rian Brady will be 30 next year." Faith enough may not be back anyway but if he is 30 is not end of anyone club game especially that said they have nothing coming through really unlikely to challenge. But 30 year in club is still not that old especially in Longford . Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1124 - 13/12/2025 19:46:01 2648244 Link
Replying To Spinx: "Rian Brady will be 30 next year." That was my mistake anyway but its not end of player may not be back anyway Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1124 - 13/12/2025 19:46:34 2648245 Link
