Flipeadóirí Longfoirt u21 team started the 2024 campaign with a dogged performance at Clonbonny on Saturday afternoon in perfect conditions. Rathcline had all the play early in the game with Slashers staying in touch with a few well taken points until finding the net with two smart goals by Billy King and Seán Tiernan before half time. The game was evenly contested in the 2nd half until eventually Slashers gained the upper hand to take the two points after a very sporting game against a well drilled Rathcline. Slashers panel; Darragh Caslin, Desmond Akenbor, Sean Morgan, Domas Vilys, Finn Neary, Jack Horgan, Iarla Bergin, Joe McEntire, David Masterson, Zach Coyle Clyne, James Shannon, Ryan Sheridan, Davy O Brien, Diarmaid Caslin, Sean Tiernan, Bill King, Tim Connellan, Micheál Mulcahy, Francis Nwanko. Slashers now look forward to next week end for a game V Grattans Óg.
