This honestly sounds like you believe there are senior clubs only doing the bear minimum to stay up. So are you saying that Gort, Willies, Dromahair, Aughnasheelin only tried when they got to relegation. Ridiculous. Also to say Annaduff, kiltubrid and Allen Gaels are better placed at senior is silly. If they want to get up to senior they have to win Intermediate. Something Gort and Aughnasheelin have done in recent years. So since they won Intermediate recently they are better placed and deserving of being at Senior level. Fair enough maybe the rules need to be changed to keep it more competitive at senior, but to say the teams in relegation are doing the bear minimum and that intermediate teams are more deserving is ridiculous.

Hard one to call. Could be mohill's last chance before St Mary's dominate for a few years. Will go with mohill by 2 or 3.

I'd favour St Mary's. Unfortunately I don't think we'll get the same recognition as the brilliant 2021 final brought us between Mohill and Ballinamore that was televised on TG4. St Mary's play a very boring bland style of play more so focused on systems and fitness than the actual skill and football brains of the player. But look sexy football doesn't win championships. It will be 15 athletes vs 15 footballers. So I think the athletes will win.

People's lack of knowledge of the game on here is actually baffling. Anyone that doesn't know who last won the intermediate championship should find themselves another forum or another sport.

I think it will come down to the ref how soft he will give frees,if Mohill get frees as soft as they got them in the semi ,beirne will win it for them and Mohill will be there for a few years yet Redlad6 (Leitrim) - Posts: 26 - 03/10/2023 15:19:30 2506815 Link 0 |
I wasn't at the game Sunday with aughnasheelin and gortletteragh but gort deserved the win by reports I'm hearing. I've seen aughnasheelin play this year and you wouldn't recognise the team to last years one that walked the intermediate championship. Its a pity with the talent in their ranks that they didn't drive on, they have more potential than the ones named Annaduff, Allen Gaels or kiltubrit. They demolished annaduff and kiltubrit in Carrick. Gort have something to work with all the young players, pity about heslin leaving for oz. Only fair way is one up or one down you have to earn the right to play senior, losing a intermediate final and getting to senior doesn't make much sense. There is 3 senior teams in leitrim realistically marys, mohill and fenagh. After that there all intermediate level let's be honest about it. The standard is poor enough, you'd imagine our senior champions wouldn't even win intermediate in connaught and that's just where we're at. Marys and a handful of other clubs have started back at grass roots to build players but keeping them around for adult football is hard.

One suggestion for TV coverage from Páirc Sheáin. It'd be a lot better if they had the cameras on the other side and show most of the crowd and the new stand. Currently games look as if they're bring played in front of a couple of hundred at most in a decrepit ground. TheCartownBus2 (Leitrim) - Posts: 42 - 03/10/2023 23:01:54 2506873 Link 2 |
Of course I knew they were the reigning champs...I was obviously referring to their previous victory before that, which was actually in 2017, not 18

It wasn't obvious and clearly you didn't know. No big deal but don't be trying to cod us.

I'd be of the view that St Mary's will win this weekend and win comfortably. Leitrim1234 (Leitrim) - Posts: 303 - 04/10/2023 10:58:00 2506902 Link 1 |
Throw Domhnaill Flynn on Mc Weeney. Flynn is a strong runner and will match Mc Weeney all over the pitch Zucker (Leitrim) - Posts: 156 - 04/10/2023 14:02:19 2506938 Link 0 |

Harsh enough on St Marys. Have many fine footballers but probably just missing that star forward Mohill have in Keith Beirne. Paul Keaney really stepped up when they needed him in the second half of the semi final all the same. Would fancy Mohill to get revenge for last year but as you say certainly not expecting a classic.

I was reading the Observer's review of the Junior A semi between Cloone and Glenfarne when I came across this poorly researched remark: "Hard to believe but this was the first ever championship clash between these club's first teams." Eh? They played each other in the 2014 intermediate group stage, the 2016 intermediate relegation semifinal, the 2017 intermediate championship group stage, the 2020 Junior A group stage, and the group stage of..... this year's Junior A. Who comes up with this stuff? Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1099 - 05/10/2023 13:41:17 2507053 Link 0 |
Really looking forward to Sundays game, weather seems to be playing ball too. If Carrick can't deal with KB then it's a Mohill victory. Hoping for a classic and best of luck to both teams. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 367 - 05/10/2023 17:35:05 2507090 Link 0 |
