Leitrim captain Donal Wrynn is adamant that they will be in no way complacent for Sunday's Connacht SFC clash against New York.

There has been a lot of talk of an upset in this one as New York feel they have one of their strongest teams in many years and with the likes of Armagh's Jamie Clarke in the forward line, one can understand their optimism.

Nonetheless, Leitrim could be forgiven for thinking they just have to turn up for this contest, but Wrynn stressed to the Leitrim Observer that was certainly not the case as they have the utmost respect for their opponents.

"It is exciting alright but there is a bit of tension about it. A lot of people are going out there looking for an enjoyable holiday and break but we see us going out as business for us," Wrynn stated.

"We're looking forward to it as a championship game but at the same time, maybe not looking forward to it in the same manner that a lot of people going to the game are.

"New York have obviously got a bit more competitive over the last few years and the perception, the way it is, is that they'll be targeting Leitrim as an opportunity to finally get a first win.

"We're well aware of that, it is something we are very cautious about and we're obviously very focussed for the game and our preparations have gone well so far. I think Emlyn and Paddy are the only two survivors from the last game and we're hoping for the same result again of course."
