It's probably the same as Laois in 2003-2007 they never got to a semi final though, probably underachieved. Only 1 Leinster they should have won 2004 2005 or 2007 as well or at least 2 more They died away quick enough after that around 2008. All Ireland minor winning team 2007 gave them very little of I remember?

Replying To Blackcoatsoffthefield: "Not sure what exactly you mean but Leitrim did win Connacht in 1994 beating Roscommon, Galway after a replay and Mayo in the final.
They played Dublin in the semi-final and as a Galway person I was delighted to support them - as I have every Connacht team - and was on the old Canal end terrace as the Leitrim team took the field .
Near me was a Leitrim man about 50 with his teenage son and I'll never forget the emotion with which he greeted the team … he could hardly talk and all he could say to the young fellow was 'look at them… look at them… as tears streamed down his face.
So I can understand the emotion that Louth supporters will feel.
Yes, Leitrim got out of their box after 66 years." Yeah I'd always support Leitrim. A great county who is football mad.

Up the Wee County
Through leaner years and hopeful ones,
Through fallen dreams and battles won,
The Wee faithful stood, both proud and true,
And carried Louth's red and white through.
Now history calls from Croke Park's stage,
A moment written for another age.
The first since fifty-seven to reach this height,
The Wee County stepping into the light.
This was not fashioned in a fleeting day,
But built through belief along the way.
Through vision, work, and courage shown,
The seeds of promise have now been sown.
Peter Fitzpatrick saw the tide
That one day would turn for the County side.
He helped lay foundations deep and strong,
And now their fruits are coming along.
From underage fields to the senior game,
A spirit has grown and earned its name.
A county united, pulling as one,
Still striving upward, the journey not done.
And rising proudly for all to see,
A new stadium stands for posterity.
More than brick and steel and stone,
A home for dreams yet to be known.
A place where future generations will stand,
With pride for their club and love for their land.
A lasting symbol, bold and bright,
Of a county stepping into its future's light.
For those who waited through every test,
This moment carries something blessed.
Not boastful words, nor noisy acclaim,
But quiet pride in what became.
So let the roads to Dublin flow,
From every parish, far and near.
Let red and white fill every seat,
And turn Croke Park into Louth's heartbeat.
Raise every flag to the summer sky,
Let songs of Louth ring proud and high.
And when our team steps out in red and white,
Let them feel a county's roar and might.
For they carry our hopes, our pride, our story,
The dream of generations chasing glory.
Stand tall. Sing loud. Believe.
Up the Wee County, with rolled-up sleeves

Enjoy the week and the match this weekend, great sets of fans and whoever comes out on top will have an exciting build up to the final. I think most neutrals would be hoping the all Ireland winners come from this match.
Well done to both teams for what you have done so far this championship.

Replying To Benjani: "David Coldrick gets the nod for Louth v Mayo. Thoughts?" A Meath Man in the middle dont know how popular that will be with the louth folk, best of luck on Saturday I've a feeling Louth will pull through with 1 to 5 points to spare.

I can't speak for all of Meath, but this Meath supporter wishes our neighbours all the best on Saturday. Obviously at this stage nobody would begrudge Mayo winning the big one either but hopefully you boys can do the business.
Going into a semi final with a real chance of winning is a brilliant position to find yourself in.
Enjoy the day.
