The performance for Sligo was embarrassing. No one said Sligo were a Real Madrid but 15 years of being unbeaten and as a poster said bookies putting 7/1 or 9/1 on it, it would appear that only a very small minority in Leitrim would have backed the win in their mind today…and it very nearly wasn't but wouldn't have been a deserved win if Sligo did poach it. The lobbed goal gave great belief to Leitrim as up to that playing against the wind I thought we were going okay.

Tbf, Sligo were very very fortunate to stay in DIV 3, Leitrim only lost by a single point to Wicklow in the League, Only a lack of maturity and experience prevented Promotion, Man for Man Leitrim Players are more talented, Sligo are still operating at Div 4 levels,

I always said Poacher made the best of the hand he is dealt and no manager would get a better trick out of us, it's finally showing some promise. gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 749 - 12/04/2026 20:29:38 2665999 Link 1 |

Let's see after Galway. If they can back up this game with a decent performance against Galway, then I'll agree with you on Poacher. The biggest problem with this Leitrim team is consistency. We can all see there are good footballers there, but at times it's the very basics that let us down. Take the Longford game, one of the best games I seen Leitrim play in years, and the week after we were shocking against Carlow. Unreal result today, first win on Irish soil in Connacht championship in like 15 years - I still expect Galway to win comfortably in 2 weeks, but it's up to Leitrim to make them work for it. Abit of consistency is really all you can ask and then head into the tailteann with our heads up You have to laugh and shows the difference in Money between the counties - other counties go abroad on their training camps to the heat, our lads get a trip to Louth.

Great double for both codes! Why is everyone so surprised that the footballers won? A low level Div 4 side defeating a low level Div 3 side is certainly not unheard of. Onwards and upwards, Leitrim!

I said earlier this week Sligo were a div 4 team lucky to be clinging on in div 3. I was proven right for me up top ohwow (Leitrim) - Posts: 87 - 12/04/2026 21:30:16 2666019 Link 0 |

I think I was the only one who said stevie and the guys needed time thank you all for remembering me saying that. That was a good win but let's not get carried away please and thanks. It was only Sligo thank you so much. Not exactly world beaters but nice to get the win even though they're extremely poor. Thank you all for agreeing. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 498 - 12/04/2026 22:10:58 2666036 Link 0 |

Looking ahead I can't see us beating Galway tbh please but you never know. Thank you. It's at home you see please. But if we did I don't think we'd be able for mayo in Connacht final assuming they don't slip up against Roscommon thank you but that is a banana skin for them. Thank you. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 498 - 12/04/2026 22:15:35 2666040 Link 0 |
