Leinster Final here we come! Our Senior hurlers have booked their place in the Leinster Final for the second consecutive year following a magnificent victory over Amsterdam in Saturday's semi-final.
In a simply outstanding team performance, Slashers produced a dominant display to overcome the European champions, running out convincing winners on a scoreline of 2-26 to 1-11.
This is a fantastic achievement for the players and management, and congratulations to everyone involved in securing another Leinster final appearance for the club.
The next challenge will be against Meath champions Rathmolyon Hurling Club in the AIB Leinster Club Special Hurling Championship Final. The final is scheduled for Saturday, 21 November, with the venue yet to be confirmed.
We wish the players and management the very best of luck as they look to go one step further this year and bring home the provincial title. All support for the lads will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you to David Reynolds of Doyles Bar and grocery/the Gaelic Corner for sponsoring new gear bags for our Senior Hurlers ahead of the semifinal against Amsterdam GAC. Special thanks also to Dunnes Stores Longford for hosting our recent bag packing fundraiser.

Ladies Club
Leinster Final – All roads lead to Portlaoise! Our Senior Ladies are putting the finishing touches to their preparations for Sunday's Leinster Senior Club Championship Final against Dublin champions Kilmacud Crokes. The eagerly anticipated clash takes place on Sunday, 15 November, at 2.00pm in O'Moore Park, Portlaoise.
The sides were closely matched when they met in last year's Leinster campaign, with Crokes eventually edging the contest. Our ladies will be determined to go one better this time around and create another piece of history for the club and Longford football.
We wish the players and management the very best of luck as they prepare for what promises to be a fantastic occasion. We are calling on all our supporters to make the journey to Portlaoise and get behind the team.
We would also encourage local schools, businesses and supporters to show their colours by putting out flags, bunting and posters around the town in the build-up to the game. Let's get behind the girls and give them the support they deserve!
U13 Girls
On Thursday night, our U13 girls rounded off their league campaign as they faced Mostrim in the Shield Final.
A fantastic team performance saw the girls secure a strong victory under the guidance of captain Angela Shinto, with some impressive individual displays alongside excellent teamwork throughout.
Well done to all the girls on a brilliant achievement! They can now enjoy a well-deserved break after a great season.
U21 Football
Our U21 footballers are now the last men's team in action this season and took on Sean Connollys in Round 4 of the championship on Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be for the lads, who came away without the points. The team currently sit on four points after four rounds, with their championship campaign continuing.
