Looks like the Allen gaels win over fenagh was only a fluke. I think their year is over now massive loss to manorhamilton this evening, I think another few years in intermediate won't do them any harm, you can't expect to come up to senior and play so terribly like that. Manor out worked them from number 2-15. Aughawillian vs allen gaels in relegation, who are we placing the bets on? Come on the Manor!!!!

As promised I crossed the bridge in Rooskey. Took in Leitrim G v Fenagh in what was a close contest. The champions are champions for a reason. Fenagh will be disappointed as they had them in a tight spot. And looking at the table now, they have a must win game next v Bmore. I see Glencar Manor won too but Allen Gaels have the Willies in last match. Unless injuries or a sting in the Willies, the form suggests Allen Gaels will win and be on 4 points . To be fair, Leitrim SFC is a much better format and more competitive than Roscommon

Exactly, just as I tell some of your fellow county folk and they are not listening, Roscommon senior football is a one horse race! Glad you enjoyed.

I think it's a two horse race in Roscommon. Brigid's or Pearses. Leitrim seem to have four or five contenders. Might try another Leitrim game this evening as nothing in Roscommon this weekend . I have some Aughawillan linkage so might go to see them. Bmore v St Mary's is probably the more interesting game but it is deep into enemy territory for me. I have heard reports of what happened in Bmore v Mohill game last week.

More competitive than Roscommon?

It's 2017 since a team in your county retained the senior county title. In the last ten years 6 different teams have reached the final the same as Leitrim and the title share out. Mohill 4 Brigids 5 winning the most in that 10 year period.

Yes I believe Leitrim is more competitive right now. I am not talking about going back to 2017. More teams of a similar level in Leitrim whereas Roscommon too predictable at the minute. Thats my view as a North Rossie

Brigids,Pearses are two teams that has won Connacht titles so are natural favourites. Is other contenders in Roscommon however probably wouldn't have that strength in depth of those two teams or go on to beat the best in Mayo,Galway.

It's lower the standard championship in Leitrim without any stand out teams. It's 1997 since a Leitrim club has reached a senior club Connacht final.
