Is Clonbonny the place where we played an under 21 game one night a few years ago because it had the only lights in the County. It is out in Lough Ree way beyond Ballymahon. Surely this time a more suitable venue with an early start could have been found even if we have to bring flashlamps in case of penalties.

1. Neil Gallagher
2. John O Brien

14. Shane Lennon
15. JP Rooney" Ollie, I know he played his last Louth game in 2003 but he was instrumental in Joes winning Joe Ward in 2006 so I would include the late great Stephen Melia RIP, in my favourite team for that period. Not sure who to leave out.

He was captain when Louth won the Division 2 title against Offaly in 2000. If it was any other Louth team he would def be on it but I am picking it from 2005 because thats the year I first joined Hoganstand.

Stephen was one of the best men on the Clans.field that wet day in 2006.I know his inter county days were over.
Do you where Clonbonny is?

Ollie found Clonbonny ok. It's in the surburbs ol Lanesboro. A nice pitch with a wee stand. Lots of Stewart's directing traffic etc. Well done to organising group.
Our line out :-
Niall Carrie Hunterstown
Dan Corcoran Gers
Donal McKenny Mary's
Niall Sharkey Glyde
Lenny Grey Pats
Sean Healy Jocks
Conal McKeever Clans
Conor Early O.P.
Tommy Durnin
Liam Jackson Matys
Eoghan Callaghan Jocks
Jack Murphy Pats
Jay Hughes Dreads
Conal McCaul Joe's
Ryan Burns Hunterstown
Ollie would this qualify as the most inexperienced team fielded since 2005 ?
They played very well for 45 inutes and were 6 points up ay that stage. Then wholestage changes were made with some of the better lads replaced. I think they were just trying out as many as possible before the league.
Best were D. Corcoran,C McKeever, C .Early, L Jackson, E. Callaghan,J. Murphy and R. Burns,who is coming back to what we used to know

Started well and then fell asleep, a lot of regulars missing and some taken off, maybe the hard training got to them? Interesting to see how this week pans out.

Jay Hughes looks a good prospect. On to Parnell Park next. By the way Happy belated New year to your goodself.

Watched the game vs the Dubs last night on BeoSport, great service and option for this time of year! Very poor Louth team and performance, particularly in the 1st half! At no stage did they even attempt to play some football. A lot of lads look completely out of their depth…even the "improved" second half team left a lot to be desired! Ciaran Byrne's form was only positive to take away from last nights game.

Yes, the goals was not good especially the 2nd one.
3rd Q was very good and Byrne was on fire.
They are Div 3 after all and only up from Div 4.
