Longford GAA: Championship temperature at boiling point

A number of make or break games are down for decision in the Senior and Intermediate Football Championships this weekend with particular emphasis on the Group A minefield in the Connolly Cup.

Rathcline have lost their opening three games but could still avoid a relegation scrap should they succeed in winning their remaining fixtures against Mullinalaghta and Ardagh Moydow.

The picture is a lot clearer in the other group and unless pointless Carrickedmond beat St Mary’s, the Granard men will join the already qualified Clonguish, Colmcille and Longford Slashers in the quarter-finals.
