Leinster Senior Championship
Hard luck to keeper Paddy Collum, manager Padraic Davis, and the Longford team and management on their defeat by Meath in Navan in the quarter final of the Leinster Championship at the weekend. Congrats to Paddy who made the GAA team of the week last week after his excellent performance against Carlow. The club wishes Padraic Davis all the best after he announced his resignation after 3 years in charge of the county senior team.
Sympathy
The club extends its deepest sympathy to the Columb family, Ballinamuck, on the passing of Kevin Columb in England. Kevin was an U21 championship winner with the club in the 80s before emigrating. Solas na bhFlaitheas air.

Leinster Senior Championship
Well done to keeper Paddy Collum, manager Padraic Davis, and the rest of the Longford team and management on their great win over Carlow in Tullamore in the first round of the Leinster Championship at the weekend. The result could have been much closer were it not for a couple of fantastic saves by Paddy. Best of luck in the quarter final this weekend against Meath

Hard luck to the county minors who were defeated by Kildare at the weekend. It was great to see St. Vincent’s represented with Paul McGee playing at corner back
ACFL Division 1
Our senior team were unlucky not to come away with a point from Michael Fay Park when losing to Longford Slashers on Saturday evening last Two points down at half time, we could have fallen further behind were it not for a number of excellent saves from keeper Aiden Gray (including a brilliant penalty save) but the team battled back to go a point up at the second water break. Slashers rallied after the break to go three in front and we could have equalised in injury time after Pauric Gill was taken down for a penalty. Unfortunately, the penalty was well saved and Slashers held on to win 0-13 to 0-10. The team and scorers were as follows:
Aiden Gray, Cian Murphy, Mark Duffy, Mark Hughes, Aaron McGee, Emmet Noonan (0-1), JP Farley, Nigel Kiernan, Seán Whelan, Conor Keenan, Ryan Crowe, Cian Cassidy, Pauric Gill (0-2), Martin Cassidy (0-5, 5f), Podge Gill (0-2). Subs used: Darren Reilly and Stephen Donnelly. The next round of the league is this Friday evening against Killoe in Monaduff at 8.30pm. Best of luck to the team and management
