First game announced: Saturday 26th January @ 7.30 in Flancare Park (or whatever new name it may or may not have). Announced on Shels site. Looking forward to it already.

Shels game has been moved to the AUL in Clonshaugh, still on the 26th January, kick off at 2.00. Disappointed with that, I was looking forward to getting out to Flancare for that one. Looks like we'll have no home friendly until the Sligo game now.

if the worse happens ethan you can get a bus eireann bus to dublin airport from longford. If there were a few of us going by bus we can easily get a taxi from dublin airport to the AUL Complex which is at the end of the M50/m1 junction. just an idea what do you think?

hopefully. if there was more than two ppl goin it may be feasible to share a taxi. if there was only two of us cos I am not workin at present it will be tight for cash for me so wouldnt go..

The Rovers and Cork games were put up on the site initially and Rovers site is still listing our game as being played on February 7th in Tallaght. Wouldn't mind going to that one if it is on. Perhaps Sorbo or somebody might clear up any confusion.

Yes that's confirmed on our site. That's the second time in recent years that Sligo have pulled out of coming to us if I remember correctly. I believe they wanted money to come last time around.
