Replying To bláthach: "I agree. Rugby reminds me of something you'd do on a stag weekend. Bunch of lads running into each other looking for a bit of leather, could be an auld welly even. When they get it they fling it out to a lad stood behind them and the whole process starts again. Whoever gets over the opposite line first wins. An odd time the lad could draw a boot on the thing and drive it up in the air and it'd nearly come down on his head. Or he'd boot it over the sideline and another lad throws it up between two rows where fella hoist each other up trying to catch. Be a class weekend at that on a stag. Sounds great craic but not much skill involved." Id like to see you turn up to Carricks preseason next month and say that to them.

You wouldn't see the like at a junior b game at 11am on a Sunday morning. boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 464 - 12/07/2025 18:50:37 2625109 Link

I don't play for them. That would be very silly indeed. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 191 - 12/07/2025 21:32:59 2625161 Link
Anyone at any club games the weekend? Personally I didn't get to see any for myself. The big result of the weekend has to be Leitrim Gaels win over Mohill but Mohill probably still missing a big chunk of regulars. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 502 - 13/07/2025 14:22:14 2625259 Link

Donal Flynn went off after 15mins for mohill injured. Fenagh vs leitrim gaels will tell a lot for the league and where leitrim gaels are at.

They've already won the prestigious spring league, powering past teams in the real league and who is to stop them in championship? Could be embarrassingly easy for them as mohill seem to have fallen off a cliff no Since coach o Hara left the stage to move on to manage some of the games greats in Boyle. Saint Marys are very very boring to watch and ballinamore are a disjointed mess isn't them. Leitrim gaels with the three northern guys aboard their ship will be hard beaten but then again if they're so good why were all three allowed to leave their own club?!? This is a question we must ponder going forward. Have they luggage with them in tow that will give the Leitrim gaels head coach some issues? How can he keep everyone in the squad happy? Headache he like I'm sure but all the same one he don't like too yes. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 191 - 13/07/2025 20:40:16 2625383 Link

They should have already won a Leitrim championship in the past couple of years, but they didn't. They've got some very good players, but their squad is light - a few injuries and they're in trouble. I wouldn't write Ballinamore off either. Currently missing 3 good forwards, which will add alot come championship. For me, it's St Mary's championship to lose. They have a nice, balanced squad and are consistent. Leitrim Gaels? They could walk the championship… or get knocked out at the semi-final stage. they currently have an issue with keeping cool heads.

having watched a lot of the teams at this stage to me its between Fenagh and Leitrim Gaels, but Ballinamore won't be far behind them. i'm not sure about carrick, they've no real marquee forward. meathbasedfan (Leitrim) - Posts: 179 - 14/07/2025 09:42:34 2625511 Link
If anyone is calling a winner at this stage you are deluded. It's very open between 4/5 teams. When is the draw? williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 502 - 14/07/2025 11:22:19 2625543 Link
Replying To williesboy: "If anyone is calling a winner at this stage you are deluded. It's very open between 4/5 teams. When is the draw?" it is typically held after the ACL finals are played. ACL finals scheduled for weekend of 9/10th August so if this is still the case, it is a bit of a wait to know who you are playing first but that is part of the craic gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 660 - 14/07/2025 11:40:03 2625549 Link
Intermediate Championship. Who do you think will win it? Allen Gaels must be favourites. Gortletteragh ? joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 588 - 14/07/2025 13:55:11 2625621 Link
Allen Gaels strong favourites but be interesting to see if their collapse in last years final weighs heavy on them in the latter stages of the championship. I'd have Annaduff and my dark horse Kiltubrid ahead of Gortletteragh who have a lot of injuries and players away. JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 285 - 14/07/2025 14:14:13 2625626 Link

Can see Annaduff making the drop to junior tbh which is probably their correct level. boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 464 - 14/07/2025 17:54:30 2625698 Link

A bit off topic but I've been to a few games throughout the leagues and have been quite puzzled by the inconsistency of some refs and their decisions. Now, I get the new rules are having a huge impact on games and how they are reffed but I do sense a frustration from teams on how some things are interpreted by different officials. I actually think the standard of reffing in Leitrim isnt that bad but am open to correction. Has anyone else noted the same? I've noticed a few of the experienced refs have packed it in (McBrien, Foley, etc). anklesockhater (Leitrim) - Posts: 5 - 15/07/2025 12:05:12 2625813 Link

I've noticed a few of the experienced refs have packed it in (McBrien, Foley, etc)." main thing I noticed is the 3 up defending/ 3 back attacking rule is not being enforced, fair enough teetering around the half way line for a long pass if opposition is turned over but playing an actual sweeper when defending is making a mockery of it yet I've not seen it being called yet. What is up with that? I know we have a few refs around the 70 mark but if you cannot keep up with the play and pay attention to the new rules, why bother. Before anyones ask, no I do not ref but if I did I would try call it as I see it and not just ignore blatant disregard for the new rules. gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 660 - 15/07/2025 13:45:21 2625831 Link
