I know this has been discussed previously but the coverage our games get locally is atrocious, Fermanagh and Cavan can get there club games covered both by local press and streaming it's appalling to see not a word in local paper about certain games and alot of time a few petty lines about them. Time they got there finger out and did something about it. The Celt can cover all the Cavan games plus the Monaghan one's we cant even get our few covered properly Weaternpro (Leitrim) - Posts: 88 - 16/09/2026 14:18:40 2694001 Link

I have also seen someone on twitter describe Leitrim as "the North Korea of club scores" county board have to do better to promote our games and our players.

Every club has a PRO, if they can't be bothered to post a few team sheets and score updates then they're not up to the job. If they can't make a game, couldn't be much hassle to give the login to another club member or injured/ non playing squad member to take the reins. Plenty of diaspora want to know how their club is doing this time of year gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 837 - 16/09/2026 20:49:58 2694042 Link

Replying To EddieMatt: "Well said Not standing up for the a county board but clubs need to get proactive and share information online" This is quite an important issue, Annaduff seem to be the most up to date (by a long way) regarding posting scores, all their adult games the sores are posted almost immediately, their underage are also well posted, maybe not every score but most or at least the team sheet, half time / full time scores. It makes following a club from a distance quite easy and more enjoyable. Also another issue is the reluctancy of the county board to come on board with clubber, all our neighbouring counties have their games on this platform so would be nice to be able to watch the games on this also. blackpuddin (Leitrim) - Posts: 101 - 17/09/2026 12:48:52 2694091 Link

Must agree with you black puvvving that annaduff are the standard bearers in this and many other things as well both on and off the field. Thank you so much for bringing this to light so millions. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 699 - 17/09/2026 15:45:32 2694118 Link

I would add Manorhamilton, Bornacoola, and Carrigallen to the clubs who are pretty good at keeping you updated with scores. Local media, however, especially newspapers, are a huge embarrassment when it comes to their coverage of Leitrim GAA. Championship.

Predictions for this weekend Senior Relegation Final A full strength Manorhamilton won't take Aughawillian for granted. But it's been a long tough season for Aughawillian, and a return to Intermediate might not be the worst thing. Manorhamilton by 6 Intermediate Bornacoola v Melvin Gaels Despite scraping into the knockouts, Bornacoola could have won all 4 of their group games. They're pretty much at full strength now. Damien Moran and Shane Mallon are county quality players. Melvin Gaels' play is built around a strong defence but has struggled for scores. Darragh Rooney's injury is an awful loss. Melvin Gaels stronger bench might be the difference . Melvin Gaels by 3 Gortletteragh v Dromahair Brendan Naughton's injury was a huge hit to Gortletteragh's defence, but the recent return from injury of Jack Heslin and Ryan Cunningham is huge. The introduction of 4/5 injury returnees in the 2nd half against Carrigallen completely changed the game. Dromahair is a big physical team, and in Adam Gethin's, they have a quality forward. This is a difficult game to call and may come down to who wins the midfield battle. Gortletteragh by 1 Junior A Glenfarne Kiltyclogher and Mohill B are already confirmed for the relegation final, so there's very little at stake for the last round of games. Maybe the structure should be changed to something similar to the senior and intermediate championship. Eslin and Ballinaglera's season finished 2 weeks ago. Mohill B v Aughnasheelin Aughnasheelin by 6 St Mary's B v Kiltubrid Kiltubrid by 6 Ballinamore B v Glenfarne Kiltyclogher Ballinamore by 3 Cloone v Drumreilly Drumreilly by 3 Leitrim2024 (Leitrim) - Posts: 109 - 17/09/2026 20:16:01 2694145 Link

Nonsense like that is why some clubs don't take junior seriously and have no real desire to get out of it gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 837 - 18/09/2026 15:26:59 2694225 Link
An expected win for Manorhamilton Saturday, Barry McNulty and Tom plunkett put on an exhibition of 2 point kicking. Big wins for dromahair against my dark horse in gortletragh and deservedly so, and Melvin, 2 exciting semi finals at intermediate this year. I think it'll be a fenagh mohill final in senior and dromahair and Annaduff in the intermediate in 4 very close games. Leitrimforsam2024 (Leitrim) - Posts: 75 - 20/09/2026 21:18:29 2694421 Link

Melvin Gaels were inpressive today and Dromahair faded badly in the second half snd Aughavas must have a real chance. joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 682 - 20/09/2026 22:46:50 2694433 Link
Junior A championship looking very competitive with the teams going in the knockouts. Aughnasheelin, Kiltubrid and Mary's B all on 6 points. Drumreilly seem strongest in the other group. A couple of 1st teams are going to fighting hard to get back up to intermediate! LeitrimAbu543 (Leitrim) - Posts: 8 - 21/09/2026 10:36:49 2694463 Link
