Hearing Leitrim gaels down a number of key defenders for this weekends clash with Moycullen which is a difficult task away in pearse stadium. Centre back Donal Casey in a brace and full back David Bruen who came back form Oz for latter stages of county campaign is gone back to Oz and wont be available. Stephen MC Dermott who key man marker at corner back is also gone back to Oz. Difficult for any club team in country to replace 3 starting defenders irrrespective of who they are.

Replying To Leitrim1234:  "The word is the County Seniors are out for the first time this weekend. The talk is that most players who have been asked in have accepted the call.
This leaves us in a really strong position to get promoted back up to Division Three - Anything else would be a failure in reality.

Disappointing to hear the nature of Donal Caseys injury and that he will be out for a few months - Hopefully he can make it back for the middle of the league.
Losing Jack Foley to New York is a huge loss - What he has done in the last two years when you consider his age is phenomenal.
Ryan O'Rourke, Paul Keaney and Killian Gaffey amongst others rejoining the panel is huge.
Hopefully Jack Gilheany and Darragh Rooney are back involved.
It's a pity the likes of Pearce Dolan, David Bruen and Mark Plunkett could not be enticed home as they would really have strengthened the panel.

I can't see /hope theres not the same problems between the Senior and U20 management this year - We have a mix of 5 between both panels (Paul Honeyman, Jack Kelly, Eanna McNamara, Colm McLoughlin and Scott Kerr).

Excited to see how the likes of Colm McLoughlin, Jamie Rynn, Oisin McLoughlin and Jack Kelly go.
Some have said Ryan Donoghue is considering Leitrim once again but I'd see it as unlikely, Same would have to be said for Conal Jones.
Jack Heslin one would imagine will be brought in and helped to regain fitness after how good he looked in the relegation play off for Gort.

I personally wouldn't like to be the one selecting what forwards start on this team.

Am I missing anyone?


Goalkeepers:
Killian Gaffey, Daire O'Shea, Brian Cull, Scott Kerr

Defenders:
Adam Reynolds, Donal Casey*, Eanna McNamara, Mark Diffley, Colm McLoughlin, Cillian McGloin, Kieran Clancy, Arek Oberwan, Evan Harkin, Cathal McHugh, Jack Rowley, Sean Harkin, Jamie Rynn, Paddy Keane, Eoin McLoughlin, Donal Feeley, Jack Gilheany*

Midfielders
Barry McNulty, Paul Keaney, Radek Oberwan , Conor Quinn, Keith Keegan, Liam Chandler, Jack Flynn, Ryan Donoghue*

Attackers:
Ben Guckian, Tom Prior, Ryan O'Rourke, Paul Honeyman, Darren Cox, Oisin McLoughlin, Jordan Reynolds, Jack Kelly, Michael McKiernan, Riordan O'Rourke, David Feeney, Caleb Duffy, Tom Plunkett, Stephen McLoughlin, Darragh Rooney*, Conall Jones*, Jack Heslin*"
Dermot McCabe in with Cavan and a club man (not Ballinamore) and former manager in Gowna. Of all times to make the switch, this year would be an unusual choice. I never understood that he would drive through 5/6 parishes to get to Gowna irrespective of the fact his father played there but in saying that, thats what he's done his whole life. He's never played for Leitrim and has a decent shout of starting for a Cavan team yoyoing between Div 1 and Div 2 so I would be surprised of Donohoe ever makes the switch

Replying To anklesockhater:  "ridiculous comment. lots of talk on this group about improving standards, hardly a good look to be going round the neighbours looking for referees because they have their house in order as you put it.

the fact about north leitrim having only one active ref is actually correct im pretty certain, that would be vincent mcmorrow. Foley has hung up the whistle and Eugene McHale is a Sligo clubman coming over the border. Its damning that some of the more populated and successful clubs clubs have no active referee, Mohill, Ballinamore, Leitrim Gaels, etc.

there was a similar push for new referees last year and two were recruited if Im not mistaken, one of whom reffed the junior final this year. The age profile of current referees is the big issue in my opinion, some lads have given years to it and father time is just catching up with them."
