Replying To Gaa_lover:  "It says all about the strength and competitiveness of Roscommon club football. Strokestown 6 point winners against Allen Gaels today who in Leitrim was scoring 28 points a game and conceded 11 per game didn't get close to those averages today asthey faced a step up in quality."
No it doesn't really. You win the main competition and then drop rapidly out of that rank after winning it. Says its pretty poor actually.

Would you say the same abiut Leitrim football if Leitrim gaels were to get relegated next year...course you wouldn't, you'd say it would show how weak Leitrim football is.

Lost 5 starters from county final. All from spine of the teams 2 players intercounty players. Lose full back, centre back, 2 midfielders and Centre forward. Lost last 3 games in championship by 1 point in each game.

Yea the winners getting relegated shows how weak the competition is *eye roll*. Definitely doesn't show how cut throat and equal the Roscommon senior football
Championship is, which always has been, and always will miles clear of the Leitrim club championship!!

If anything it's fairly laughable, that Allen Gaels won every game in Leitrim championship 10 points plus, nevermind the fact there's only 8 teams in Leitrim Senior and 12 in Roscommon. Which makes Strokestown on paper our 13th best, and Allen Gaels Leitrim's 9th best. It's time Leitrim take a look at the underage structures in Roscommon and try to replicate them if they want any chance at improving.

The difference is Roscommon clubs have showed the strength of their club championship by regularly reaching the senior the Intermediate Connacht finals and ultra competitive in those finak, it's the opposite with Leitrim club football and it's not that long ago Leitrim Gaels was playing intermediate football.

Could easily happen when the 3 Jones head back to Fermanagh or decide on another club to win a county title with.

If it was miles clear surely Strokestown would have won by more today? Eye roll away chief.

We had 10 senior clubs last year, what difference does that make? You could have 16 senior clubs and it still doesn't make your championship better does it. Quality not quantity my good man

Not really, a look at Roscommon shows more than half the senior titles have been won by one team this century so far!! A one team competition is certainly not a high standard in fairness.

In the same period 11 clubs in Leitrim have won senior titles. Which one is more competitive and exciting?
