Louth U21's 4W's


Who: Kilkenny
What: Leinster U21 Championship opening round
Where: Ballyragget
When: tonight 7:30 throw in


The Louth Under 21's start their campaign playing away from home in the footballing heart of Kilkenny, a weak and very small heart but a functioning heart none the less.

People may say what sort of a joke is this?
They are only there to even up the number's
Sure they are only wasting Louth's time and the County boards money!

what the point?
but these are people's view from the outside.

Looking positively at the game it gives the players a bonding road trip to a place not many us have been or want to be. Testing their Character while doing so.
The game itself is important for the management team to have a dummy run and an opportunity to see how players react and play together as a unit in a competitive fixture.
Obviously all this is a build up and useful exercise 
before the real test in March. We (will hopefully) play Longford at home in the quarter final.
This fingers crossed formality will take the edge off that big match and allow us to have a game under our belts. Last year’s opening round loss is evidence of that theory. Wexford beat us fairly and Squarely and went on to capture a Leinster title, but you felt there was a lot more in that Louth team last year a game beforehand would have prepared us better.
So a win is a win, no matter the margin because a boost in confidence however it may arise will be more than welcome because Confidence is  something we badly lack at this level and quite welcome going into the next match.



Looking at the panel which was named yesterday

My Possible Team

1. Joe Flanagan* (O’Raghaillagh’s)

2. Anthony Williams (Dreadnots)
3. Cian McEvoy  (Dreadnots)
4. Ciaran Murray (DYI)

5. Brian Corcoran (Mattock Rangers)
6. Patrick Reilly (St Brides)
7. Shane McMahon (St Mochta’s)

8. Eamon O"Neill* (St Mochta’s)
9. Shane O’Hanlon* (Geraldine’s)

10. Rory Moore** (O’Raghaillagh’s)  
11. Cathal Bellew (Kilkerly Emmets)
12. Eoghan Duffy (St Fechin’s)

13. William Woods (Naomh Fionnbara)
14. Eoin O'Connor** (St Pats)
15. Barry Hamilton** (Geraldines)

Subs:
Robert Samson (Joe’s)

Stephen Campbell (N Martin)
Dermot Campbell (Dreadnots)
Tiernan Hand (Geraldines)

Mark Neary (Joe’s)
Stephen Reidy (Geraldine’s)
Sean Donnelly (Cooley Kickham’s)

Niall Devlin (St Fechins)
Brian Berrill (N Martin)
Alan McKenna (Joe’s)

Ben Rogan (O’Raghaillagh’s)
Peter Kirwan (Dreadnot’s)
Derek Kierans* (St Nicholas)

*highlights they Started last year
**Substitute last year



We have some nice forwards and gladly long with our possible midfield, they possess some experience from last season.

Although we don’t have a lot of cover for midfield on the panel I’d still play Eoin O’Connor at full forward, his best position. Having made the step up to senior level he should do damage at this level and be a focal point for our attacks.
We have a plethora of corner forward’s on the panel William Woods is talented enough to start and Barry Hamilton is one of the more natural scorers you’ll see.

Speaking in terms of prospects for down the line, Patrick Reilly is number one right now he has the pedigree (David’s Son), and having cut his teeth captaining the Dundalk Colleges to victory he backs that up. He will start at centre back, no mean feat for a lad out of minor but a measure of the trust in his ability.
Eamon O’Neill is also a very talented all round footballer and should go on to play inter county football. Stick him down if you haven't done so already.

 
I have to say looking through the panel, the team is hard to pick. We have a nice blend of forwards and talented defenders especially in the full backline to choose from.

I’ll look forward to see how they progress. At this level is about getting the head right. First we must get confidence and momentum that starts tonight.

Sigerson and Louth Final Pt4

Unfortunately my reverse Jinx Didn't work but it was enough to get Maynooth to the final
where they played the DCU powerhouse

They were the only two teams with Louth involvement so it was great to see themm in the final
Maynooth with James Califf starting and unfairly taken off in the final,
Shane O'Hanlon made a Substitute appearance in their famous Semi win over UCC and Jim McEnaney was unused squad member for DCu the whole weekend.


Breakdown


In case you were wondering and a GAA geek like me

here's some Stat's of the whole weekend.


Over the whole weekend 75 players were used
DCU-21 NuiM-21 UCC17 UUJ-16


18 Counties Represented
Dublin has 12
Cork 9
kerry 8
Kildare 7

Tyrone 7

Top five teams in the Country have the largest representation here? Coincidental?

Meath 6
Donegal 5Roscommon 3
Galway 3
Down 3
Laois 2
Monaghan 2
Louth 2
Westmeath 2

1 player
Cavan
Antrim
Mayo
Sligo


The correlation shows that the more players playing in this competition,  the better chance you have of inter county success!

Louth and the Sigerson Pt3


The Sigerson Weekend is upon us and Galway are hosting it this year

The first game begins @ 1.30 a semi-final

UCC/NUI Maynooth,

I've picked against Maynooth the whole way through and in favour of seeing them reach the final I'm going to go with a strong UCC side, the current holders who have won the Cork Championship already this season.

These two sides are similar in that they have a very good clublike spirit.

Look out for Mark Collin's a classy operator on the forty for UCC and Summerhill man Davy Dalton the other end trying to Stop him.

DictVer=UCC


then the next semi is @ 3.30


UUJ/DCU,

The two heavy scholarship hitting teams are facing each other in the other semi and what they lack in spirit, both sides make up for in Panel Depth, Jordanstown are without their Crossmaglen contingent and DCU are without Michael Murphy.

look out for Leo Mcloone CB for jordanstown, Donegal man made all the wrong headlines last season but could have a big 2012, Ironically look out for DCU's CB also...Johnny Cooper a true leader and broke louth U21 hearts a couple of season's ago for Dublin in dowdalshill.

DictVer=DCU

Overall Winners? UCC alot of old  heads on young shoulder will see them do a repeat!! (Maynooth definitely gonna win it now hopefully!)


Louth

James Califf as we know is with NUI Maynooth and will possibly be Louth's sole starter on the Friday.


Peach may not be our only representative over the weekend hopefully.


Jim McEnaney will be involved with DCU. Plus Shane O'Hanlon came off the bench for Maynooth in the quarter final and with Peter Kirwan & kevin Keelan also involved with their squad.

2 games in 2 days will see possible injuries and our boys could make an impact.


Best of luck to all involved.



Final is Live on TG4 Saturday @ 3pm

Lent & Louth

You've dusted off your pile of yestersday's pancake's 
satisfied that fix for another 365 day's


Now your feeling of guilt need to be repented


Instead of Giving up Chocolate, Crisps, Cakes and Bun's

I present you a list that you (Louth fan's) could use over the Lent
Give up Abusing Ref's they have a tough enough job without getting on their case and intimidating the life out of them, usually turning them against us

and while we're at it


Give up Blaming Ref's for our losses they are not the reason we win or the reason we lose or heck even Draw!!
It's a lazy  excuse commonly used by ignorant supporter's our lads and supporters should take some accountabilty for a loss not passing it to the referee.


let's stop recruiting outside players Let Johnny Murtagh be a lesson and lets draw the line at that, we don't need outside players coming in, we have good enough players in the county and more coming through without anyone else's cast off's stopping them from developing.


Picking on Cooley, a great club so what if they haven't won the Joe Ward in a while,with Brian White and Brian Donnelly possibly in the same team, this really could be their year.


Lets give up the underdog tag, we belong in this Division we've the best midfield in it and possibly the best indiviudal player in the Division. so give up slating our own.


Also Give up giving up on Louth, we've a big home Game against Tyrone coming up. Sure they're a formidible outfit but lets believe!
go the game optimistic and in full voice lets get give the Tyrone lads a partizan welcome we might expect in Omagh.

 
 
Lent isn't fully about giving stuff up why not take up something



 like training or helping a juvenile team at your club our do an extra session a week on or off the pitch to improve yourself.



Or you could sign up to the blog but don't whatever you do give the blog up that would just be totally unholy altogether!!!!

NFL Division 2 Stock Exchange

Paddy Keenan's Stock rose all over Ireland today with 5 points from play for Leinster

but here's how the rest of Division 2 faired on the weekend's stock exchange.

^^Westmeath: Big Movers in the Market, Garrycastle reached the All-Ireland club final boost them in the long term and John Heslin not only returns to the panel but leaves a lucrative AFL contract behind him in doing so.

^Tyrone: Peter Harte, Martin Penrose and most noticeably Owen Mulligan continue in a rich Vein of form They accounted for over half of Ulsters scores (2-8)
in their win over Connacht.


^Derry: Only one player involved over the weekend and it was Conleith Gilligan, he kicked 3 points for Ulster in their win

-Meath:Kevin Reilly and Shane McAnarney started for Leinster in their loss to Munster. Solidates their traditional high share's


-Kildare:   No Change

-Galway: Non Movers although Gareth Bradshaw and Nicky Joyce started in a facile loss to Ulster in the Railway cup.


 
\|/ Monaghan: Tommy Freeman back in training but a switch of Venue for their next home game versus Louth could see their market share drop as a result!

Louth/Galway Report

Forget the DROGHEDA INDO AND DUNDALK DEMOCRAT ,

THIS IS WELL WORTH THE READ TO GIVE YOU THE BEST COVERAGE AND DETAIL FROM THE WEEKENDS GAME!!



Leaving the quite impressive Pearse Stadium on Sunday, to the sound of the Saw Doctors, in high spirits was worthy of the full tank of petrol.
 

There is something special about heading whest, it makes you feel giddy and the wild Irish rogue comes out in ya, And you could sense that from our lads from the off. They were really up for it!

Up for the match!

The game began with Darren Clarke kicking a cracker in the left corner....you knew it was sailing over as you could hear his roar of approval the other end of the field where I was, even before it went over the bar! It also highlighted the lack of Louth fans that travelled.

You thought then, lovely.


We’ve settled early into this game here now.

And we showed we were up for it!

We weathered a galway storm, defended really well and aggressively .Gerry Hoey attacked everything that came his way. But a lazy foul by Donnelly gave the home side an opportunity to level via a Michael Martin free.

Gerry Hoey again, broke up a Galway attack that ended up with Ronan Carroll putting us back in the lead, Ronan is very accurate his shots to scores percentage is very high.

Blitzkrieg

The defensive strain was now starting to show and it began with a stroke of fortune, Paul Conroy was forced to shoot out the wing and it came off the post and straight in the arms of Danny Cummins and the Sligo IT man dispatched excellently to the net. Cummins again was then fortunate to take advantage of sun in Pop’s eyes to convert another point.

Louth feeling sorry for themselves were all over the place at the back and Nicky Joyce then got in on the act roaming out the field and scoring after Dessie got turned over. Martin tapped over another after centre back Duane was left to charge up the field.

Galway really seemed to be finding their groove with direct ball into the inside forwards and patiently worked for midfielder Flynn to score.

Spirit

At this stage Galway looked to have another gear but Louth showed great spirit to fight back. The catalyst for this was a number of switch’s Jamie Carr went in to mark Nicky Joyce a role that suited him better and Andy McDonnell wasted in at full forward came out to his more natural forty yards position.
With Andy picking up breaks and giving us that bit  more in that sector he picked up breaks and gave us the link we needed aswell as an outlet for our defenders.

Also we played ball after ball into the left corner to great effect there was loads of space to run into and alot our scores were manufactured in there.
A clumsy foul on Paddy Keenan by his marker Flynn saw Darren Clarke convert a well taken free off the ground (Oh how we could have done with that later) He scored another from play.

Paddy drove in that area and clipped over with his left foot on the run as he usually does. Then move of the game saw great work by Reido, who played the ball to Andy who worked it to Derek Crilly who curled over with his right foot leaving two in it.

Tactic’s

We were really dominating the middle sector now Faherty the Galway goalkeeper was obviously told to keep the ball away from PK and that ploy worked right to our favour as Donnelly was showing impressive hands for the second week running. However it was a break from him collected by Reido and quick hand pass set Mark Brennan off into space and he steadied himself to leave one in it.

It was going to take something special to crack the domination we enjoyed. Gareth Bradshaw’s lung’s was that something special. Adrian Reid left him for a split second after a hop ball and that’s all he needed to show off his power in driving up the pitch and show great composure to finish, leaving two in it before the half time whistle.

The second half began the way it was going to end with indecisiveness and some guilt edge opportunities wasted. The pick of the bunch was Paddy Keenan who blazed wide when it seemed easier to score a goal or point. Andy mcDonnell eventually got us of the mark in the second half and was highly impressive all afternoon he has a sharpness and quickness of thought suited to this level.
Simmering

Louth we’re coming to the boil as Jamie Oliver would say.
You could sense the Temperature rising especially when Liam Shevlin and Gary Sice got booked and Donnelly was throwing his weight about,

it looked like Louth were beginning to believe.

Adrian Reid confirmed this with a trademark solo run and some might say untrademark finish to match, to draw the game.

The heat was taken out of them slightly with Paul Conroy breaking up the field to score with venom, a dipping shot just over the crossbar and then the water was tossed out of the pan completely in the substitution of Darren Clarke and Adrian Reid.

A bizarre decision and cost us dearly come the end.

Replacement Eoin O’Connor took the ball off Derek Crilly and kicked his first score of his Louth career from a tight angle but I don’t mean to be over critical on the lad when a wiser head could have picked out JP who was in front of a gapping and nearly certain goal.
Ronan Carroll was threatening on the edge of the square; he has great potential there, Strength and power with a great burst of pace. The position suits him as well he can be a nuisance plus he really just needs that one chance to convert a goal.

 
Partnership
We were bossing the midfield completely at this stage, Paddy on the ground and Donnelly in the air.
The youthful Galway midfield were taught a lesson and maybe purposely by their Manager as a part of their development. One real asset they posses, is Bradshaw, who has the ability to turn defence in attack in an instant powered up the field again to put Galway back in the lead.

 
Donnelly missed a long range free.

Jim Mac got on the scoring act too when finally introduced for Mark Brennan after being brought on earlier as a blood sub. Aaron Hoey was brought on soon after

It was Jim who collided with a Galway midfielder but the referee who was fussy on the day deemed it a free.
JP took the free didn’t connect with it as he would have liked, but Eoin O’Connor had the sense of mind to keep the ball in play punching it across the goal mouth to the opposite corner and Jim then took a sneaky look at where the posts were, before he picked up the ball and with the posts behind him he turned and gave his marker no chance and levelled the score with 3 minutes to play plus injury time.

Donnelly missed a 45

The game was there for the taking but then the daddy of all the golden opportunities came our way. A long ball in broke to Andy who struck it well enough off the ground certain to go in the bottom left corner only for Aaron Hoey’s derrière to block it!
It broke out to JP but with so little to aim at he pulled it and the impressive Faherty palmed it wide for a 45.

Donnelly missed another 45

This would now be Brian Donnelly’s third attempt to score one, not one was worked short in the belief we would kick one one of them and he missed all of them.

just.

on every occasion.


Why did we take off our inform free taker in such a tight game!?

Perspective

Louth weren’t good to enough to win it and Galway weren’t bad enough to lose it either. In the end it was a point lost rather than point gained.
While you couldn’t feel down about it, especially after the good performance the lads put in and to see a fit and healthy looking Michael Meehan outside the ground not togged out for Galway due to a debilitating ankle injury puts a lot of things into perspective.



Best man on View: Brian Donnelly his hands were awesome and really growing in confidence, although he did miss crucial free’s he can’t be faulted as he still had the cojone’s to step to take all three.


Best Galway man on view: Although well confined, Gareth Bradshaw showed us flashes his powerful pair of lungs.





Later/Tomorrow: Talking Points and there is alot to talk about!!

Here it is the game we’ve not all been waiting for!
Pearse Stadium on a brisk Sunday, I’ve gone through both teams during the week in great detail and gave my six pence worth.
So I won’t bore you any further or confuse you with pizza analogies.
Galway manager Alan Mulholland came out in today’s independent and stated that they target winning their first home game in 7 matches...GREAT!
Bang goes the complacency theory....these guys mean business!
Regards the game itself it should be an eye opener and I look forward to Louth adapting to the pace of the game and putting it up to Galway.
Reality Check
At the end of the day its night but we want to be here...going to Galway playing national league and testing ourselves. These competitive games will bring us n end and set our standards higher and higher.
We’re in a no lose situation tomorrow, we should and the players should just go out and enjoy it.
Things to look out for: Big Galway crowd (as their hurling team are playing before hand), Gareth Bradshaw (Possibly the best footballer in Ireland), Beware fluent irish speakers, Our president Michael D HIggin’s might also show up to rub further salt into Sean Gallagher’s wounds.

For those of you expecting an away travellers report, I apologise I just hadn’t the time and I barely know what way I’m going meself!!
Plus the woman is going to be directing me!!

There might be still time to ring Jim McKeown and get the supporters Bus Leaving Dundalk at 9am and Drogheda at  9:30am
contact Jim on (086 2459305)
@louthgaa_fan will be sure to provide you all with updates on twitter if not I’ll also be tweeting away with my new fingerless gloves.

Actual Louth Team + REaction


Louth Team named to play Galway:
1. Neil Gallagher
2. Pops Rath 3.Dessie Finnegan 4. Gerry Hoey
5. Ray Finnegan 6. Jamie Carr 7. Liam Shevlin
8. Paddy Keenan 9. Brian Donnelly
10. Derek Crilly 11. Ronan Carroll 12. Adrian Reid
13.Mark Brennan 14. Andy McDonnell 15. Darren Clarke

Reaction to follow when I get my head around it......Meah !!

Reaction

The reason for the Meah earlier is that my optimism has been waned slightly,

This is down to the team that has been selected

Its smacks of indecisiveness and then some further uncertainty.

Meat Feast Theory

The Team reminds me of a Meat Feast pizza.....

So much delicious meats,
Ham, Pepperoni, Bacon, Chicken, Sausage, Spicy Beef all on piled up on one pizza


But it just doesn’t work

and its downright greedy

All the meat clash, No balance in Flavour, cancelling each other out
you just feel stuffed and dirty after eating it

Not like a Pineapple and Ham Pizza.....

they both know their roles and are well balanced, working harmonious together giving you a great tasting pizza

Giving you a satisfying feeling after finishing.

Starting Line-up

Our starting team on Sunday has the county’s best fifteen fit and available players all crammed into the line-up.

What’s wrong with that, you may say?

Much like a Meat feast Pizza.....
No hard choices have been made Fitzer and his management team has got greedy.

Resulting in a Team with rushed players back into the starting line-up, players selected in unaccustomed positions and little or no Balance either end!!

Wrong Message

We’ve crammed 4 half forwards and a midfielder in the forward line along with Darren Clarke.

Plus We now have 3 corner back’s in defence.

Where’s the unity and also where is the scores gonna come from?

Counter argument will be that Mark Brennan will play out the field and Derek Crilly will play even more out the field and play as a sweeper.  

That’s totally playing our game to suit Galway
Plus we’re now trying out a completely new system and personnel against an in form Galway side in Pearse Stadium!!!


This is disappointing on two fronts for Derek Crilly, He is being unsettled and moved again and not given the vote of confidence for Centre back, and more annoyingly he would have matched up well to Paul Conroy a big man and a natural midfielder.

Jamie Carr and Mark Brennan didn’t get a minute last week and now come in from the start so they’ve been rushed back into the side in unfamiliar positions!

It does the players no favours being the square peg in the round hole,and results in our three best corner backs on the team and two quality half forwards playing in the full forward line.

Fitzer has chickened out of making the tough calls and will be to our determent come Sunday..

Best Louth Team to face Galway


Having looked at Galway (See G-G-G-Galway Dossier below)

I’ll try and pick our best team to play to play the westerner’s
ithout unfreezing Stephen Melia of course!


My hand maybe slightly forced with Short term injuries?
Affecting the possible team and selection.


Jamie Carr (Ankle)

Decie Byrne (Hand)
Mark Brennan (Groin)
Derek Maguire (Ankle)
Ronan Greene (Ankle)

To keep some unity, the Defence will remain the same Gerry Hoey performed well last week and Pops when introduced was very Solid....Dessie will have the ominous task of picking up Nicky Joyce. He could do no wrong last weekend shooting and scoring from all angles!

Gerry should pick up the more pacey Cummins and Pops should pick up inform Michael Martin.


Midfield Sector
Fintan Curran has played for DCU during the week so he may be less fresh than usual but it’s Here PK and Brian Donnelly gives us the best chance to compete and put them on the back foot.

Not to the messy bit (don’t lose me know)

It is the forwards that will have to be tinkered with the most

We should target putting their half backline on the back foot, and playing our most mobile footballers there...Luckily we have them in the form of Adrian Reid and Andy McDonnell.

As last week our half forward line lacked shape and balance, Andy McDonnell is the man to come into the side on the wing......one of the unseen qualities of Andy is his tackling which will help when tracking either O’Donnell or Bradshaw.

This would see Jim McEneaney move to a more central position and less exposed for pace on the wing.
On the forty would see him more involved and orchestrate things better from there? A superb foot passer he could be the perfect link to our inside forwards

(Lost yet?)

At full forward Ronan Carroll is our best option, and get more out of him.

Playing Inside, he is more than capable of coming out best with a tussle with Finian Hanley physically and speed wise.


Either side of Ronan with Clarkie a cert to play, David Reid should come in.

They
will test the either corner back, newbie Keith Kelly or Colin Forde who played full back against us before for UCD in last years O’Byrne cup.


The side looks to have a lot of balance and if selected a real chance of Shocking Galway.

(Hopefully I didn't lose you!)


My Team as Follows

1.    Neil Gallagher
2.    Gerry Hoey 3. Dessie Finnegan 4.Pops Rath
5. Ray Finnegan 6. Derek Crilly 7. Liam Shevlin
8. Paddy Kennan 9. Brian Donnelly
10. Adi Reid 11. Jim McEneaney 12. Andy McDonnell
13. David Reid 14. Ronan Carroll 15. Darren Clarke
