QuoteWell how'd it go???
I don't think the GAA lads are going to hammer the Town in fairness. They'll be physically competitive and fit no doubt but the superior skill levels and organisation of an EL team of whatever nature should be too much for them. But I do see your point that it'd give the mouths something else to be complaining about.

Well, i think that was definitely one of the more interesting visits out to Flancare in quite a while. For anyone who missed it, and that would be quite a few judging by the attendance, The Town won 3-1 against the GAA team. In fairness (and speaking primarily as an LTFC fan) I think 3-1 was harsh on the Gaelic lads.
A lot of the county players showed that they’d be at least as good if not better than some of the town squad if they had chosen to play soccer over Gaelic. It probably just points to the fact that all the best local talent will be directed towards the GAA and that soccer is still very much the poorer relation.
I suppose, at least the Town won the game and it won’t be as big a stick as was mentioned above for the detractors to beat LTFC with.
Final word on the attendance; there were plenty of local Longford footballers out in Flancare park last night at a match to raise money for charity. Attendance: maybe 200-300..
Fair play to the Gaah lads, they were in the game to the 90th minute until Chucky scored. A distinct lack of organisation in our team's performance in the first hour but with an under 20 at centre half (Dean Clarke) and another in centre mid (Andrew Lynch) it's not too surprising.
Dismal turnout for the game. Quite a lot of kids boosted the attendance but as a fundraiser goes, I doubt either club nor charity earned much. There obviously were much more appealing things on in Longford on a Monday night to keep people away
Glad ye didn't lose anyway lads. Shame about the poor turnout. Fair play, it was a clever idea. We must see if we could get a MunsterXI together to play Limerick in their big new shiny stadium. . . .

Did Vinny or Maccer play? What about Freimanis?
I just sit down at the typewriter & start hittin the keys, just hittin the keys. Getting them in the right order though thats the trick, thats the trick.

Vinny played most of the game at centre back and Freimanis was playing on the wing, he played well he'd be a good addition to a Premier Divison side next season though if we could keep him so much the better.
