Good start in Senior Championship Longford Slashers 3-16 Fr. Manning Gael's 1-05 Slashers started their championship campaign in fine fashion with a comprehensive victory over Fr. Manning Gaels. Slashers dominated the game from start to finish and a fisted goal from Padraig Davis was the only high point for a disappointing Drumlish outfit. Slashers were leading by 0-7 to 0-3 at this stage and raised their game again by scoring two points and a goal before half time to have a comfortable 1-09 to 1-03 lead at half time. All Slashers scores came from play and things could have been better as the outstanding Paul Kelly had two great goal chances – one was well saved by the keeper and he pulled the other wide of the post. Fr. Manning Gaels started the second half with two points but after that it was all Slashers and we continued on from the first half chalking up 2-07 in the second half. Again all these scores came from play except the last point which was from a free – it was unusual that we only received one free inside the opponents fifty during the entire game. This was a complete performance with full back, Barry Gilleran and full forward, Stephen Phillips outstanding. Stephen scored 2-06, all but one point from play. Dermot Brady was at his best and Paul Kelly created havoc each time he received the ball. Team: G. Hourican, T. O’Rourke, B. Gilleran, G. Ghee, D. Brady (0-1), P. Brady, C. Barnes, M. Brady, D. Sheridan (0-1), R. Kennedy (1-1), N. Mulligan, C. Smith (0-2), T. Glendenning (0-2), S. Phillips (2-6), P. Kelly (0-1). Subs used: D. McRory (0-1), M. Tarmey, W. Murray (0-1), I. Shannon.
Division 1 League expanded to 14 teams Division 1 has been expanded to 14 teams. The top eight in the league will qualify for the quarter-finals to determine who will eventually lift the Leader Cup. Relegation will be decided by the championship,
