From what I have seen of them they have a really good group of young players in roughly the 19-23 bracket along with a couple of experienced guys like Ronan Sweeney and Peter Hanley. They have had a huge amount of underage success over the last number of years, winning several A championships in u21 and minor. A lot of guys have played u20 for Longford over the past few years, it seems to be around 15 of them in the last 4 years which is a huge amount. A lot of those guys seem to have made the step up to the senior panel, Duggan playing with Roscommon, Matthew Carey, Michael Flynn, Matthew Flynn, Conor Smith with Longford maybe a couple more I'm not sure. Sweeney was on Longford panel too. The Downs will definitely be a huge step up to anything they have met before and I think it will be men against boys and the boys won't come out on top this time. However, I will be the first one to eat humble pie if I am wrong. BadgerDog (Westmeath) - Posts: 121 - 15/10/2026 10:11:39 2697374 Link 0 |

A fair attempt. I think id gave mckenna above Hughes in nets. Hard not to fit in Liam Hughes, Sean fagan or oisin o'toole. Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 91 - 15/10/2026 14:46:57 2697431 Link 0 |

I wonder will the team of the championship make a return? It was a shame to see it go as a result of a cost cutting exercise. Petty in my view. Players should get recognition for their efforts. We slag Cavan for being tight but they reward teams of the championship for all grades! Peter Hanley is the player of the championship and David Barden is the junior player liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 313 - 15/10/2026 16:04:33 2697442 Link 0 |

I see the under 21 is starting this weekend. What was your Fixtures Committee thinking, when they put Clonguish out to play on a 5 day turnaround from the County Final. I would safely say their full 15 and more played in the Senior and Junior final. Could they not have played it Sunday as there are other under 21 games on that day as well. If ever there was a chance to turn them over and stop the charge to another under 21 title, then it could well happen on Friday night in Killoe.
