the line out will be interesting after the lay-off and if we have a full squad to pick from

Great result for the lads last night, after a long lay off they seemed to click into gear in the 2nd half. I could only listen to it on the radio unfortunately, but it seemed we really improved after a good start followed by a bit of a lull.

A very entertaining game in the Park last night. Our lads looked really good in attack (2 -24 is a serious score)) but we looked faily open at the back for periods in the 1st half. Having said that, Longford looked like a completely different outfit to what we seen a few weeks ago in the league.
The lads worked some great scores, including both goals, and N Hughes ( who was brilliant last night) 2 x 2pointers in second half were immense.
Good to have almost everyone back although G Malone is still a big loss.

suppose ud have to be happy with that, its a win but we struggled to put them away for a long time but pulled away in the end but we need to remember longford are one of the worst teams in the country, 13 wides is 50% to many, but we got 2/3 of our injured men back on the pitch, 2/3 still out but over all it was a good result, onwards to carlow, but the big test of where we stand will be v fermanagh

Yeah to be fair think it was rustiness more than anytning last night.

Hopefully that brings them on a but, we finished stronger whereas in previous games we looked to be fading towards the end.

Bigger tests ahead but a good start if not great.

The new rules have changed everything in football, we scored more in the football than we did in hurling, the Leinster and Ulster finals, great games. The scoring rate in some games is unreal with teams now forced into attack football. The levels of fitness now needed is off the charts. I am not sure the 2pt will survive as it will create a lot of arguments in club football and if it does the goalkeeper touching it and its a 1pt will have to go - with no neutral umpires that will be a mess. Just having kids watching thoes hight scoring games will be a boost for the game even if they are other counties playing. Unfortunately some in the hurling only community will see it as a threat and not realise that the more kids we have palying football will mean the more we have playing hurling.
