Good luck to the team and management today. It's a big ask but we should approach it with the aspiration that every man gives his level best and when you've done that you can do no more.
Great credit is due to the lads who've stuck with the jersey and the cause in what are challenging times.
It's an honour to represent your county and its people - grasp the occasion. We'll worry about the final tomorrow.

Replying To dolfos: "25% of prisoners in Ireland are not from Ireland? Dear me, I used to dream of moving back to Ireland one day, but it's now just another globalist industrial estate that exits to squeeze the life out of the people trying to live a life in peace." The biggest concern is those Irish nationals running around the Countryside committing endless crimes, whether its theft, assault, traffic violations, fraud or even worst. Curiously the Government doesn't seem to be willing to tackle this crime.
How can somebody with over 179 previous convictions be allowed to roam the streets within weeks of their most recent conviction.
Anyone with over previous 100 convictions, should be automatically getting 20 years in prison, no early parole for their next serious conviction. By serious, I don't mean forgetting to pay TV License or parking fine, I'm talking theft, assault or things of that nature. And they should fully owe the state for the cost of their incarceration, which can be taken out of their personal property.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Leitrim 0-13 Galway 2-22. And another prediction ohwow will be at home watching it on GAA+ while the good decent and honest Leitrim folk will be in attendance supporting their team." I don't have a gaa plus subscription. And I have my ticket. Thanks for your concern

Replying To Bowser93: "I see the Leitrim u20 team and senior teams are named for this weekends games. The best five u20's not playing with the u20's because of the senior game and none of the five are starting for the senior team either. We dont help ourselves do we. We complain about lack of consistency at underange level and this is the respect shown to the Philly McGuinness Cup final. I dont know who's worse, the Connacht Council for the fixture clash or the Leitrim Co Board for allowing this to happen." It's shouldn't be clashing, why wasn't that game played Wednesday night alongside the semi final

Replying To bláthach: "Great to see Roscommon getting in the excuses early for when they inevitably calve on Sunday please and thanks. Oh we have injuries and suspensions please. Every county has that thank you but you don't hear the big two at that nonsense excuse making. Thanks so much." Big two teams never do that!

Replying To WonTon5: "In that starting 15 who do you replace for B McHugh? His deadballs skills are up with the best in the country but what does he offer the team in open play? Not enough to justify selection over Mac Donnacha. Darcy won't start inside, I can see at least 2 change before throw in." He starts ahead of Liam Ó Conghaile, Céin Darcy and Oisín Mac Donnacha in that forward line tomorrow. Cein should be the engine room and Paul Conroy on the bench to come in with 20 to go. If Maher or McDaid can't manage McNulty we have major issues. Drop over to Creggs to the league game on Sunday to see what damage McHugh will do on Annaghdown, I bet they'll have a double sweeper and man marker in place. Alternatively ask anyone from Dunmore or Michael's how much damage he did to them in recent weeks. McHugh brings a clinical precision to getting scores and can also mind himself, if you get me. He is a nightmare for a defender with his strength and ability, if you foul in the scoring zone, he nails them frees. Finally, he is also always fit and available.

Today is the day Leitrim qualify for Connacht final. Ideal weather conditions for the big result. Having compared both line ups I think we edge it and have better players overall.

Football Championship 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "The main gripe I have against provincial championships is that there is no qualification standard. If provinces were limited to the following based on league ranking: Ulster - top 8, Leinster - top 8, Munster - top 4 and Connacht - top 4, it would set something of a qualification standard. The 9 missing out could enter a second tier cup where the winner could be guaranteed a place in their provincial championship in the following year." Sorry I completely disagree. Every county should automatically have the right to compete in their provincial championship. You talk about qualification standards…..Kerry practically qualifies for the all Ireland business end every year because ye have no competition in Munster.

Replying To Pikeman96: "Another bit of reminiscing coming up.
About 20 years ago, I was part of a committee that was set up to try get more publicity for the All County Leagues. Basically, the four of us were assigned a couple of divisions each in hurling & football, and it was our job to get details from each club after each match so that short reports could be cobbled together for the newspapers each week ("The Echo" was still in operation at the time too).
It was a nightmare job. You'd be chasing people until all hours of a Monday night after a weekend's matches, and there were many who you'd never get at all. Some clubs were particularly bad. Even if they gave you details by fax (yes, fax!) or email or over the phone, you couldn't rely on them. For example, a common problem was them saying something like their team scored 2-14, but then when you added up the list of individual scorers they sent, it'd come to something like only 1-12.
Or one club would say that they won by 2-15 to 1-12, but the other club would say that they lost by 2-13 to 1-13.
It's a lovely idea in theory to say "clubs send in details so that they can be published" but the reality is it's far from that simple." Reminds me of an article back in the day in a Dublin newspaper. I was playing full back but told the reporter (I knew his brother) who missed the first half that I had scored 1-2 from full forward but we were being destroyed back the field so they had to move me back. In truth, I never went beyond the 45 in my life.
I put the scores down to a few other players I liked on our team because he had no idea who scored what.
The report in the paper was along the lines of "the surprise springing of Exile to full forward reaped huge dividends as he caused untold trouble for the full back line before helping himself to 1-2 in the opening exchanges". It got a great laugh at training the Tuesday afterwards.

This looks like a good wexford minor team. Well balanced with no obvious tail on the team. Downey is a good centre back
