The decision to postpone the Senior Hurling Championship Final, orginally scheduled to be played this Sunday in their showpiece slot, has ignited a lot of anger among the dedicated Longford hurling people.

Wolfe Tones Mostrim and Longford Slashers will battle it out for the Duignan Cup and the match has been moved to Wednesday night next, September 23rd, at a floodlit venue to be confirmed (8pm), probably Allen Park in Newtownforbes.  

A direct clash of fixtures arose with some members of the Wolfe Tones hurling team also featuring for the Mostrim footballers who are in action against Abbeylara in the Senior Championship quarter-final. 

That game will take place at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park this Sunday (4pm) along with the other remaining SFC last eight clash between Killoe and Granard (1pm).

RTÉ Nationwide presenters Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh and Anne Cassin

Beginning at opposite ends, Anne Cassin starts her journey in Dublin, heading west, and it’s all aboard in Clondra for Bláthnaid NíChofaigh, going east towards Mullingar where the two presenters meet.


All along the way, presenters Anne and Bláthnaid will meet the communities for whom the canal is of great importance. 

Anne takes a barge trip from Dublin through the unique landscape of the Deep Sinking, to Leixlip, and rambles on to Maynooth, where the Royal Canal greenway begins. From there she visits an art gallery in Kilcock, she runs with Na Fianna running club in Enfield and meets some canoeists at Ribbontail. 

While all that is going on, Bláthnaid goes to Strokestown House and learns about the National Famine Way, she visits the Tidy Towns winning village of Abbeyshrule, joins a rambling group in Ballynacargy and meets Clare Crinnigan, who was born in a lock house on the canal. 

Nationwide all next week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7PM on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
