Tom Prior looked very good for DCU tonight as they progressed to the Sigerson cup semi final. With Prior, Honeyman and Beirne Leitrim have the firepower to cause plenty of problems to Div 3 defences. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 295 - 29/01/2025 21:49:35 2588434 Link
Replying To meathbasedfan: "i don't think either club has enough to go on its own, obviously just ran its course. best of luck of both clubs anyway." Interesting, any idea why it was disbanded if it appears to be working and neither club currently have the resources to go their own? Would have thought Bmore had it but would understand if Kiltubrid do not, could be wrong but I think Annaduff are the only club outside of a town that do not amalgamate at any level and have not done so in recent times gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 597 - 30/01/2025 12:09:59 2588478 Link

While times are good for them now at underage they spent years playing in division 3s and 11 aside competitions yet they never amalgamated. While I am not saying every club should go on their own you have to respect the commitment Annaduff have to ensuring that every young player coming through only ever has to wear one jersey.

I'd say an almagamation must be a nightmare. This type of arrangement probably has a shelf life so hopefully it has been beneficial to the players that have come through. Annaduff have probably the biggest population of the non town teams. Backheel (Leitrim) - Posts: 182 - 30/01/2025 14:06:48 2588493 Link

With Prior, Honeyman and Beirne Leitrim have the firepower to cause plenty of problems to Div 3 defences." There's a post that gives cause for optimism. We have the forwards even with the few gone away and Poacher might have a few systems to tighten things up in defense. It sounds like Clare were still in the dressing room for the first 20minutes but then worked a lot of goal chances only for the Antrim keeper to have a stand out day. I hope we travel in good numbers as usual. I have a feeling this could be a gettable 2pts on the road. As Séamus O'Rourke put it on Tommy Tiernan, you have to have hope of a win travelling to these places. Good luck to the team on Sunday.

Id say you're right with Annaduff having the biggest population of a non town team. They have Drumsna and the vast majority of Dromod, big national school numbers. Fiercely parochial and proud club. They are putting in huge effort in at underage level too so they should be a major force in the future leitrim4sam (Leitrim) - Posts: 678 - 30/01/2025 21:15:06 2588549 Link

Replying To Leitrim01: "Interesting to put that reply to the above statement. Sour Grapes much? womp womp" No need to be specific. We all know who the main offenders were in that regard, two of them winning championships last year. With those two off the scene now, only one left. There might be a lot of frees moved up and down that pitch beside the N4. IronSleeve (Leitrim) - Posts: 26 - 31/01/2025 09:04:07 2588582 Link

Two of these main offenders won championships last year, if it's working for them ye should try it ! Leitrim01 (Leitrim) - Posts: 21 - 31/01/2025 11:17:37 2588604 Link
Annaduff are no longer the protagonists in this regard they once were, The main culprits without being named are "the club furthest north in leitrim" and "last years county champions" will be interesting how the referees in leitrim adapt to these rules as I wouldn't have the majority of the current crop refferee and u8 Blitz nevermind a senior championship games under the new rules Leitrimlad123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 9 - 31/01/2025 15:46:51 2588656 Link
Replying To sparkie: "100% favourites Are the 3 jones living in the village?" Real Madrid built the Galacticos years ago too but they were knocked down by passion "hard work beats talent, when talent doesnt work hard" this quote by Larry Bird explains what will happen to the Gaels this year. Wash ins/Blow ins cant changed a bad attitude of a club. MacDiarmadaGaels79 (Leitrim) - Posts: 5 - 01/02/2025 10:52:17 2588743 Link
Very inexperienced team named for tomorrow especially in defence. No Ben Guckian is he injured? It's going to be tough tomorrow make no mistake but I'm going to go and back this young team and hopefully we have a good support down in Ennis. Best of luck lads.

Good luck to all today, it's one of only 2 fixtures I believe something could be got but a performance will be positive. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 452 - 02/02/2025 11:51:22 2588862 Link
