Season ending Longford under 21 'A' and 'B' football championship finals

The double bill starts at 12.30pm with the meeting of the amalgamations, Carrickedmond/Legan Sarsfields v Southern Gaels (Cashel/Killashee) and both teams are unbeaten going into the ‘B’ title decider.

On the evidence of their comprehensive 2-7 to 0-3 win over Dromard in the semi-final on Sunday last, the vote goes to Carrickemond/Legan whereas Southern Gaels were fortunate to overcome the difficult challenge of Young Grattans by a single point, 1-9 to 0-11. 

While Ballymahon/Kenagh beat Killoe twice in the ‘A’ Championship with the amalgamation coming out on top (2-5 to 0-7) in the semi-final last weekend, the south Longford side are facing a very tough task against the strong Clonguish team in the ‘A’ title decider (throw-in 2.15pm).

With the exceptional Matthew Carey leading the charge in a sharp attack, the boys in green cruised through the group stage in emphatic unbeaten fashion which included a comfortable 2-12 to 0-8 victory over Ballymahon/Kenagh.

It will be a big shock should Clonguish fail to complete a three-in-a-row of Longford U-21 ‘A’ titles and yet another underage success for the Newtownforbes outfit is the probable outcome.
