Senior Championship Draw Round 2

Longford Slashers V Emmet Óg

Golf Classic

This year’s golf classic was held on Saturday 7th June in County Longford Golf Club and by all accounts was a most enjoyable and successful day. A large number of teams played and the weather was very kind. Winners on the day were the Mark Glancy team representing CEC. Second was the Matt Hanley lead team representing Russell Brennan Keane, third was the James Brady team, the winners of the all ladies team was the Deirdre Redmond team representing MBB. Thanks to Longford Golf Club for having the course in such great condition and to Mick Neary for providing the refreshments.

Results

Leader Cup - Round 5

Slashers 1-8 Clonguish 0-15

We suffered another Leader Cup defeat against Clonguish in Newtown on Sunday afternoon last. The strong rain and persistent rain dictated that the game was never gong to be a classic. Both teams found it difficult to adapt to the conditions. Slashers played with the strong wind in the first half and failed to take advantage, leading by only one point at halftime. Several aimless and inaccurate balls were kicked into our excellent full forward line, many of which carried out over the end line by the greasy surface and strong wind.

In the second half Clonguish had the advantage but we played much better and the game was in the balance up to the end. During the second half the post denied substitute Eamon Nolan a goal and in another incident he should have been awarded a penalty after he was dragged down after a powerful run.

Best of Slashers were Dermot Brady, P. Dobson, B. Gilleran, E.P. Nolan and S. Phillips

Team: R. Duffy, D. Mannion, T. O’Rourke, G. Ghee, P. Brady, I. Shannon, D. Brady, M. Brady, D. Sheridan, B. Farrell, M. Tarmey, T. Glendenning, P. Dobson, B. Gilleran, S. Phillips. Subs used – C. Barnes, S. Campbell, and E.P. Nolan.
