I am repeating myself but the fact Leitrim last played in May and club finals are only being completed in late October/November is bewildering. alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 67 - 05/11/2025 09:59:31 2643102 Link 0 |

It is because of the Connaght championship - LG aren't playing their round until the 16th of November - could easily play it sooner but then you'd have the champions in each grade waiting weeks or months without a game.

Sure they are waiting either way, why not let them enjoy summer football

I do think there was a benefit playing the junior A final in ballinamore as it's two small parish's made the atmosphere a lot better as the crowd would've got lost in pairc Sean completely understand taken away the chance of letting young lads play in carrick but in my opinion it was a great call !

Could a seperate competition be organised to cover this gap? Maybe have the SFC champions and maybe 2 or 3 regional sides play for say, the Packy McGarty Cup. It could double as county trials and at least give the better Intermediate and Junior players a higher level to play at. Decent game time for the senior club going into Connacht and it would allow the championship itself to be played a month earlier. You could put the Intermediate winners in it as well as that's becoming a higher standard with it and the SFC becoming smaller. IronSleeve (Leitrim) - Posts: 55 - 05/11/2025 16:17:36 2643174 Link 0 |
