Replying To kentuckytucky: "A morale boosting win no doubt, Waterford took the lead as well so credit to them from bouncing back from that defeat last week and to Coach Moran for guiding it. That Tipp Sligo result has definitely thrown a spaniard into the works and maybe there is a glimmer of a torch for us." Hope the Spaniard survives. Sounds like a bad doing. :/ MagnumPIG (Leitrim) - Posts: 145 - 28/02/2022 13:14:36 2402955 Link

Replying To MagnumPIG: "Hope the Spaniard survives. Sounds like a bad doing. :/" Congrats. Good luck the rest of the way. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2859 - 28/02/2022 14:32:21 2402993 Link
Replying To Canuck: "Congrats. Good luck the rest of the way." Great result in Waterford- first win in five against a team that lift their game against us. Andy needs to fix centre half back position as we once again allowed a team to run through the middle. Will be interesting to see how Carlow cope with Keith,Ryan and Tom who were on fire. Impressive performances from the 2 Cullens and Jack Heslin who could be in contention next day.Any word on Jack Gilheaney? leitrimabu1 (Leitrim) - Posts: 138 - 28/02/2022 16:56:51 2403050 Link
Replying To JimmyNail: "Good win today well done to the lads. Good score put up too (Keith Beirne was on fire today), off to Carlow next, they seem to be improving as they ran cavan to 4 points today so we need to be at our best to get a win there. No point looking beyond that or at other games need to look after ourselves. Good to see Shane Moran back in the panel, he could have a big role to play in the last few games. Very good Leitrim support down there too." I'd wonder how highly Leitrim folk rate Keith Beirne now? 2 or 3 years ago i stated on here that he was one of Leitrims best forwards and got a few replies to say he wouldn't be starting with everyone fit and was at least 10 better forwards than him.

He's a fantastic player and is getting better. All the Beirnes are hugely talented guys, Mossy, Conor and Mark also. Keith is without a doubt the star player now and we are lucky to have him. Results this weekend are massive for us. Need Cavan to win. Then we have a hugely tricky game against Carlow who seem to be improving every game they play leitrim4sam (Leitrim) - Posts: 664 - 01/03/2022 19:41:01 2403324 Link

He's definitely our best forward at the minute. masseyferguson (Leitrim) - Posts: 107 - 01/03/2022 21:15:20 2403336 Link
Leitrim U 20s took another bad beating from Fermanagh this time. Very worrying. Backheel (Leitrim) - Posts: 162 - 02/03/2022 16:51:18 2403521 Link
Replying To masseyferguson: "He's definitely our best forward at the minute." After Niall Murphy and Gearoid Mckiernan. Berne is the best forward in Div 4. I think Ryan on his day would also be in the mix. 3rdmidfielder (Australia) - Posts: 323 - 03/03/2022 08:33:15 2403565 Link
Replying To Backheel: "Leitrim U 20s took another bad beating from Fermanagh this time. Very worrying." Are you really surprised at that? Leitrim_12 (USA) - Posts: 207 - 03/03/2022 13:03:41 2403621 Link
Replying To kentuckytucky: "Are you really surprised at that?" A bit surprised at the manner of beating from both Fermanagh and Longford. I generally would expect us to be at least competitive in one of the matches. It is worrying because generally Leitrim teams make themselves hard to beat and you would have hoped for a reaction after the Longford result. Are Leitrim particularly short of talent at this grade?

In the 4 game round robin at minor level their "best" result was a 12 point defeat by Sligo. SeanMacDiarmada (Leitrim) - Posts: 407 - 04/03/2022 07:16:25 2403722 Link

Its wasnt so long ago on these pages "we had the best forwards in Connacht" Buzzcagney62 (Leitrim) - Posts: 217 - 05/03/2022 19:29:16 2403960 Link
Replying To Buzzcagney62: "Here we go again, talking up our players. Its wasnt so long ago on these pages "we had the best forwards in Connacht"" Hardly. Beirne is one of the best forwards in Div 4 if not Connacht. As for others talking up players I can't comment on that but we have some decent forwards. It's not a crime to state that.

Replying To Buzzcagney62: "Here we go again, talking up our players. Its wasnt so long ago on these pages "we had the best forwards in Connacht"" Ah the best forwards in Leitrim don't think even the person who said it believed it. But Beirne currently is one of the best around. Seems to have improved a good bit since he tried to transfer to Roscommon and we said no. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1183 - 06/03/2022 11:13:48 2404037 Link
Cavan beat Sligo so Leitrim and Sligo now on 4 points each...but Tipp beat Wexford and on 5 points....Tipp still to play Cavan yet but looks Cavan going up its going to be a tight battle for second place... Liathdroim_abu (Leitrim) - Posts: 6 - 06/03/2022 16:49:41 2404085 Link
Replying To Buzzcagney62: "Here we go again, talking up our players. Its wasnt so long ago on these pages "we had the best forwards in Connacht"" Talking up? I'm saying he is one of the top 5 forwards in Div 4. I'm not saying he is better than Clifford or Sean O'Shea. Beirne is a fine footballer. Sweeney from Tipp should have been mention b4 KB also. 3rdmidfielder (Australia) - Posts: 323 - 06/03/2022 20:50:19 2404144 Link

Obviously Leitrim have to win the remaining 3 games and that won't be easy. Even if they do I'm fearful tipp will beat Cavan next Sunday and if they do they will be promoted no question. It's in there hands now Champotime18 (Leitrim) - Posts: 442 - 07/03/2022 10:27:53 2404190 Link

Cavan will win all their games, if they were going to lose then away to Sligo was the one they could have slipped up on. They didn't. They will want to win all games leitrim4sam (Leitrim) - Posts: 664 - 07/03/2022 12:34:06 2404229 Link
