Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Brilliant Marty fair play
That's excellent altogether. Such a shame Sean Pruntys career was cut short so early. Didn't realise he had made that many appearances. Lovely fella and an excellent footballer.

Is that Enda Kenny from Ballyleague who played right back for us Marty? Or is it our greatest ever Taoiseach?![]()

Sully did well to end up top scorer considering he didn't start a good few games this year.
8 isn't a great return for your top scorer it has to be said but as said above he didn't start a lot of games. Would expect him to do better next year and hopefully it's for us..

Challenge for you Marty. Which season has had the highest number of different players score for us?
