Oliver CallanHOST
One of their fellas called Casey scored the winner, beat Monaghan in Croke Park.
Des CahillGUEST
knocked as having won since 1914 they're playing Newtown Blues who have a great tradition but you get that though where a team Oliver I think gets momentum they win junior and they go to intermediate and they can go to senior and they're on a winning run and you can see sometimes and the county doing well because the county players will make a difference won't they I mean
Oliver CallanHOST
for Loud it was an incredible year yeah they had a hell of a summer you could have beaten them yeah we should have but don't mention the sore point focus on the club Scotstown by the way are Ulster champions so that's a big ask for Truer yeah What else is on your eye?
Des CahillGUEST
Well, there's so many.
Gerry KellyHOST
Okay, and in Louth, uh, what a pairing we have here.
Gerry KellyHOST
Newtown Blues, the aristocrats of Louth football, 23 championships to their name.
Gerry KellyHOST
St. Mochta's, none.
Gerry KellyHOST
They've never won it, the Mochta's from Louth village, but there is a real feeling, like Meath, that this is gonna be a very tight affair between two wonderful footballing teams.
Gerry KellyHOST
Look, uh, it's been a few years.
Gerry KellyHOST
2019, the, the last of the three in a row was the last time, uh, the Blues lifted Joe Ward, and as I said, they've been in two finals.
Gerry KellyHOST
But Colm, what's happened with the club? They were relegated to, uh, second division football in Louth, and everything seemed to be all over the place.
Gerry KellyHOST
What has happened, Colm?
Colm NallyGUEST
Well, well, that's the Blues for you, Gerry, right?
Gerry KellyHOST
[laughs]
Colm NallyGUEST
Um, there's a saying there locally that, um, years ago when the championships used to be on a little bit earlier in September between the Oul' All-Irelands, they were saying if the Blues, uh, made it till August, that's when they were at mo- at the most dangerous.
Colm NallyGUEST
Like, if they were in all competitions till August, that's when they're in the most dangerous, um, because they could smell the championships.
Gerry KellyHOST
Uh, Oulart The Laois, St. Mary's RD, the raging favorites to win Joe Warden Laois this year against the Newtownblues on Saturday.
Gerry KellyHOST
Could the Blues upset the, uh, favorites?
David SheehanPANELIST
Yeah.
David SheehanPANELIST
Well, I mean, the two kingpins in, in Laois, isn't it? Newtownblues with 23 Joe Wards and, uh, RD St.
David SheehanPANELIST
Mary's with 13.
David SheehanPANELIST
10 behind, [laughs] so they'd only love to close that gap.
David SheehanPANELIST
But you look at the Blues, and it's 2019 since they last won it.
David SheehanPANELIST
Obviously, St. Mary's won it most recently in 2024.
