Replying To leitrim4sam: "Does anyone know how our u20 players will fair in the Connacht championship? Will they be released by the senior squad to play? We play Fermanagh on March 16th and Sligo on March 23rd I think and first Connacht Championship game is on March 19th. First round of senior champ is April 19th. Half our senior squad is u20. Is McNulty eligible? Back from injury to play? I honestly think they will make a Connacht final if all available" Unfortunately Barry McNulty is over age this year joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 536 - 03/03/2025 19:08:06 2594546 Link

What is everyone's thoughts on the Leitrim kickouts. leitrimhorseshoe89 (Leitrim) - Posts: 1 - 04/03/2025 12:05:39 2594650 Link
Replying To leitrimhorseshoe89: "What is everyone's thoughts on the Leitrim kickouts." Very Poor same routine every time, signalled with one arm in the air for one kickout then with two arms in the air for the next one and the result was the same - kicked down the middle, and unable to win the breaks, this led to quite a few Offaly scores. Unsure why we are importing lads from other counties to play for us.. no one gives away a good dog. LeitrimBatman (Leitrim) - Posts: 1 - 04/03/2025 12:59:58 2594664 Link

Replying To Square_B: "I see we have another wanderer. Jesus wept." The lad that always has a slabber but never an answer. And by the way many of us are GAA fans as well as being fans of our own counties. We are interested in what goes on in other counties and always wish well for the smaller counties like our own but don't care to hear empty cans making so much noise.

That pairing was the All Ireland U17 final three years ago. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 321 - 04/03/2025 20:45:24 2594787 Link

Best of luck to St Clare's Manorhamilton in the Masita GAA Post Primary Schools Dr. Eamonn O Sullivan Cup Senior C Football final on Saturday in Tuam.

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Jeez he has some great supporters on here lol, best of luck to the team" Leitrim could do with more Shane's at coaching level all over the county. Hopefully he might get back on the county scene soon in some guise. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1180 - 06/03/2025 14:28:02 2595058 Link
Replying To joeman123: "Yes and all Leitrim should be proud of him and team. He us a fantastic coach" We are very lucky to have him involved at school level. A level that is so important in the development of intercounty footballers and an area where we have been atrocious for as long as I can remember. Good luck to all involved. 3rdmidfielder (Australia) - Posts: 373 - 06/03/2025 15:06:16 2595063 Link
Still no master fixture plan out. southleitrim_mafia (Leitrim) - Posts: 137 - 07/03/2025 09:51:39 2595176 Link
Replying To LongBall94: "In relation to the U20s team (who we are all now pinning our hopes on as the Senior team is so out of it's depth for a variety of reasons) Does anyone know the panel for Barry McWeeneys men this year? It can be tricky with Leaving Cert Students etc to get full commitment at this age group. Off the top of my head (and missing one corner back position) I would guess our team could look like this. But I'm definitely forgetting a few names. That being said this is an extremely strong team with a lot of them having been stand out performers in our club game in 2024, along with last years U20 experience, then with our school teams this year - they are all very positive experiences for any young team so it should leave them in good stead. Who else am I forgetting here? O'Rourke, McBrien, Lowe etc would all be good impact subs. Are the young Gardiner lads from St Marys eligible? Brian Cull Oran Foley Eanna McNamara Jack Rowley? Jack Foley Colm McLoughlin Ben Guckian Bailey McBride Gavin Gallagher Darren Cox Tom Plunkett Brian Keaney Paul Honeyman Jack Kelly" Farcical that there's no Master Fixture plan and down right embarrassing that the website isn't even updated to show the tables for this year etc. This was probably a very good attempt at naming the U20 team above i'd expect that to be the majority of the team with 2/3 changes. We played and competed well against Donegal the other evening. In a surprise to noone with an understanding of Leitrim football and the pressure and load being placed on the our young players on the senior team Ben Guckian picked up a hamstring injury in the first half - Barry McWeeney must be pulling his hair out. Few other players will be doubtful for round one as well but we still have a really decent team. Leitrim1234 (Leitrim) - Posts: 338 - 07/03/2025 10:13:32 2595181 Link

Replying To southleitrim_mafia: "Still no master fixture plan out." Due out next week, has to be adopted by clubs at a Co. Board meeting next week. In recent years league tables for competitions haven't appeared on the website until the first round of said competition has been played, might be a website plugin issue as opposed to a deliberate or otherwise information vaccum by the Co. Board. Dodgy_Pass (Leitrim) - Posts: 396 - 07/03/2025 13:51:52 2595230 Link
Congrats to St Clare's manorhamilton on their all Ireland schools title today. They displayed a fantastic skill set and ability in the ball and played some fantastic football. I believe Leitrim have the best footballer in Connacht for his age group (if not the country) in Barry McNulty, and we must also have the same in Jack Kelly. He was a joy to watch. What a huge boost to Leitrim under age football. A long overdue and well deserved all Ireland title. Congrats to all leitrim4sam (Leitrim) - Posts: 686 - 08/03/2025 19:57:00 2595438 Link
