I didn't but there's a few results I'm keen on figuring out what happened. St.Marys and Aughawillan, an Aughawillan team that I thought would be fighting relegation only loosing by one to St.Marys, I know St.Marys don't pull it together until around July but nonetheless it was surprising. Allen Gaels and Aughavas, an Allen Gaels team I thought would be nearing a league final has been nothing but poor all campaign, early days and I know they are suffering big time with injuries etc but with the depth of their squad from last year I thought they would still be holding their own. Big win as well for Ballinamore vs Mohill.

Great week ahead. Train tickets booked already.
Fantastic performance v Sligo. Hard work put in all over the field as well as McNulty being a stand out performer. As someone said earlier, you can not underestimate his importance to Leitrim. He is the tide that raises all the boats.
My own young fella is gone mad practicing with both feet since the game as well as shouldering me after he scores a goal on me ! Great to see.
But we were also not afraid to have a pop at goal for points and goals.
We converted our goal chances and didn't give Sligo too many.
Typically we don't convert these and then we are left thinking what could have been.

The last time Galway came to Carrick in 2015, we lost by 8. We missed 3 goal chances and Galway pulled and dragged us all over the field conceding 42 frees. No black cards then and a lenient referee so persistent fouling was allowed to carry on and we got no momentum.

Fair play to Poacher, He had them well drilled-fantastic to hear the singing in the dressing room after.
No win at underage is definitely a worry and that conversation is for later in the Summer.

Encourage people to get to this game. Poor turn out in sligo compared with 2011. Yes ticket prices put the pinch on but bring your flask of tae and sandwiches with you like the old days. Bring a ball and a flag for the kids. We don't need to have a buffet of sugar foods for the kids surely. If so, leave them at home or on a playdate as they haven't the interest yet.
We don't get many days out and the last day was worth every cent.

Looking forward to the game myself, and seeing Barry McNulty competing against one of the big two in the province. As some are saying he is probably the best player in the province at the moment so I am sure he will get attentions.

I'd imagine that there will be a decent crowd

Hilarious that sitting on the open concrete steps will cost 30 euro and the covered stand 35. The Connacht council need a rethink in the future. But there will be people on here defending those prices

Very important to enjoy this week thoroughly Wowyser. Back in the Tailteann cup after that for youse people and a competition that ye can give a right crack too. Great to see ye playing one of the big three in Connacht. Great days. Again I repeat a speedy Roscommon who confirmed division status with a game to spare in the countries premier division will give our Western foes Mayo plenty to think about but will probably come up a little short. The summer is long though and the weather is picking up. Love to all.

I agree thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so- I am sure they are looking at testing themselves against one of the big two and who knows maybe by Saturday evening we could be facing for a Connacht final against our former manager!! Wouldn't that be nice please. Thank you all.

Zero defence for those ticket prices.

Brilliant Blathers. So important for us to dream. Keep the faith. Plenty of great days ahead. The games for youse against the big three are to be cherished and you know that you never know what might happen. Spirit of Darcy and 94. Love to all.

They want to get a grip a top five team against a bottom two in the country. This is a game that I wouldn't miss at 15 or 20 euro. But seriously thinking about not going an account of the price, the unfair nature of the provincial championship with price of deisel it is not a particularly attractive way to spend a Sunday.

And the minimum ticket pricing for Mayo game is 30 euro which is ridiculous considering it is a gimme for a big two side like Mayo to win.
