Leitrim are about to start their league campaign so lets get back on track and discuss our hope of promotion, team selections, verge players, new players, and all thing Leitrim Gaa."
Congrratulations to Leitrim ladies on their awsome display against Longford.
Anybody at the match?"
Yes I was. Leitrim played some brilliant football against a poor Longford side with the Longford manager only having had one session with them before the Leitrim game. Nice to see a few new additions to the team starting Niamh Morahan, Aoibhin mcgoldrick, kate gormley and martina gallagher. My POTM has to be Emma Guckina, played a blinder getting herself scores and setting them up. Hoping they get promoted this year.

The ladies should definitely be operating at a higher league. But look up to them to do that. Likewise I hope they get promoted.
Replying To southleitrim_mafia: "I think scrapping the Spring League and moving to a 10-team league is a good decision overall. Fewer games, but more meaningful and competitive ones.
What I don't understand is why the last three games need to be worth three points. Is this genuinely about competitiveness, or is it really to suit the bigger clubs once their county players return? It feels like early results are being devalued for no real reason.
We've also reduced the club calendar. In 2024 there were 6 Spring League games plus 7 league round-robin games. Under the new system there are fewer games overall, which should logically mean an earlier championship. That seems like basic common sense.
Unfortunately, common sense often seems to be in short supply when it comes to decisions from the Leitrim County Board.
Finally, I'd be quite embarrassed as a St Mary's player or supporter at their failed proposal to seed next year's championship. It stinks of sore-loser behaviour and suggests a lack of faith from the club in their own players to win a championship in the current format.
In any case, if it had passed, wouldn't they have been seeded last anyway after finishing in the relegation places last year?"
Where was it announced that the Spring League was getting scrapped?

I think ladies league is one team up and one down right? That makes it awful tough going, the intermediate win 2 years ago was brilliant and no doubt they will target it again but league promotion has to nearly be a bigger target
