Good interview with him in observer. Best wishes to him JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 363 - 25/06/2026 14:32:46 2681870 Link

Hopefully he will get into coaching and focus on that, god knows Leitrim needs every lad available to keep the game alive in the county.

As I suspected, a very big anti-hurling element in Leitrim football. It must be getting to them that them hurlers are going way better at the moment. Go to your clubs and sort out these football-only bullies. Shame on them.

You'd be ran outta most gaa clubs in Leitrim if you were advocating for their players to go off playing hurling. You'll not change the mindsets here, Mary's and Manor may have an agreement with the dual players but doubt it extends outside the town gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 797 - 29/06/2026 22:50:48 2683086 Link

And shur what support in reality do they have from HQ anyhow? There would be little to no hurling scene were it not for a few men who came to live in Leitrim who were originally from hurling strongholds. And how could you even look to develop the game with a games promotion officer who is only available to schools 1 day a week? Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 2187 - 30/06/2026 11:30:14 2683137 Link
Replying To ohwow: "Says the man that calls grown men 'little hurlers'. We see you." 'Little hurlers' used as term of endearment, not of scorn. They get enough of that it seems within the borders of the county. I have never seen Leitrim hurlers play but really admire the effort they are making and the success that they have achieved over the past couple of seasons. Onwards and upwards! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2589 - 30/06/2026 12:56:37 2683171 Link

It is so disappointing to hear that that is the attitude towards hurling there. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2589 - 30/06/2026 12:58:57 2683173 Link
