Saw he was in the stand with Stephen Bradley, no idea why. Would maybe make sense if he let Marc Kenny take the game as it was mostly u19s, not sure why otherwise.
Defo an LSC thing. When Bohs reached the final in 2011, he let Heary take the team too

While Hyland, Blanchard, Luke Byrne, Waters and Ryan Brennan added experience to the Rovers team there was still a significant gap between the two sides. On the evidence of yesterday, none of the Rovers youngsters are likely to make a step up anytime soon
Of the Dundalk starting line up, while only one of John Mountney or Darren Meenan are likely to start in the Cup Final, Gabriel Sava, Shane Grimes, Paddy Barrett, Kurtis Byrne and Sean Maguire are all established players.
It was an enjoyable match played at a decent tempo and definitely more interesting then seeing the established first teamers going through the motions. I also never tire of seeing Rovers take a hiding!

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
A sublime free by Dillon is going a bit too far Marty. It took a massive deflection off a head in the wall and totally changed the direction of the ball. It was our under 19's and fringe players who started with Dillon, Simon and Haverty coming on in second half. Drums were down to 10 men very early on when their striker slid in on Molloy and connected with Molloys face with his studs. Great to see Pat Flynn get a good run out tonight.
Who thought the LSC could be so exciting? Great entertainment at CCS last night. Only for the senior players that came on and Jamie Mulhall who was super, we would have been beaten by a very good and well organised Drums side. They had a ball cleared off the line with the last kick to save it going to extra time.
Disappointed with some of the younger players, I know they wouldn't be use to playing in competitive senior games against quite physical grown men but had expected more from a few.
wot I meant by sublime is that I saw the goal from behind the goal!!
