A highly entertaining game of football this evening. Longford just came up short but not by much possibly ran put of legs but 100% for effort. From what I can see its evident that Solan has really got the best from this team..see yee in div 3 next year!

Hard luck to the lads they made us proud was impressed with Oran Kenny Dessie Reynolds and the whole defence

Hard luck to the hurlers and footballers. Wasn't to be on the day.

Looked like a smash and grab was on the cards in Croker yesterday, but the card ended it as a contest. On to the Leinster championship now, in better shape than anyone might have predicted a month ago. Still a lot to work on (really struggled with possession in the second half of normal time), but the trajectory is positive and a few lads really finding their feet in that county jersey. Fair play to Carlow, you could tell how much it meant to them - no more than ourselves they don't win trophies every day.

So the league officially kicks/kicked off over the weekend, apart from the Slashers v Abbey game that was played last week. No real shocks. Only surprising one is Rathcline only kicking 3 points against Granard. But as I said last year, they rely too heavily on Oran Kenny for scores. Cashel are really on a hiding to nothing. They shipped a very heavy defeat to what I am assuming was practically a Clonguish B team. No surprise with Colmcille beating Killoe considering the amount of county lads Killoe have compared to Colmcille.
