Replying To alalalalalum:  "Ah lads a bit of perspective is needed here. We beat the two teams that were bankers for getting g 4pts before this league started...and we barely beat them at that, could have lost in fact which is very ominous. The team that would show where we really were in the pecking order...Wicklow, we lost to.

I would hope momentum would get us to the top 2 but I'd say there's lads from the remaining counties looking at some of us saying a win over London was historic and shaking their heads laughing."
You have completely missed the historic nature of the Leitrim win.Don't know where your from but down 14 pts in the first half & go on to win by 2 is rare in Football. I don't think there is anybody in Div 4 laughing at us- more like apprehension at meeting an almost fully fit Leitrim in full flow. It was an impressive win whether you agree or not while we should have beaten Wicklow who were helped by three questionable decisions to deny us scores. Predict victory over Antrim & Longford with Tipp & Carlow the challenge. Lots more to come in this Division

I wouldn't be getting too carried away. You have to take it game by game, and I wouldn't be looking past Antrim. I saw the highlights from the London game, and for all of London's scores our defender was three or four feet away from blocking them down. There are some good, honest footballers on the Leitrim team, with a few nice talented players mixed in, but a serious amount of work still needs to be done defensively before I'd be looking past any Ulster team.

I'm from Leitrim. It would have been nearly historic had London bet us by 14pts or more...the comeback was very impressive and showed good heart and a lot of skill, but they should never have been in that position in the first place.

Those 6 points were all world class. McNulty is some player

Bornacoola played st brigids kiltooms second string in a challenge last weekend down in kiltoom. Naomh Brid running out winning by about 8-10 points. Probably not a bad result at all for the bors given the opposition

Particularly the free from the hand. An outstanding kick.

You are 100% right, they should never got into that position. Thank god for 2 pointers.

A great result. Hopefully they can win their next challenge game.
