James Glancy is confident that Leitrim has quality footballers but says the challenge facing management is to get them all on board.

Having represented Leitrim for a decade, Glancy is now working as a games and coaching development officer. Speaking to The Leitrim Observer ahead of Sunday's county SFC final, the Glencar/Manorhamilton captain notes:

"I personally know that there are good footballers in Leitrim and it is up to the management team that are there at present to get the best footballers out playing for Leitrim. I don't think that has been happening over the last number of years and the last three or four management teams, that the best players have been playing.

"You just hope and especially with the role that I am in at the moment, I hope that every player makes themselves available and makes the necessary commitment to the management team and future management teams, whoever they may be. Not just at senior level but at minor, U21 and development squad level.

"We're punching above our weight as we are so we need to get back to being as competitive as we can possibly be and then hopefully if we can do our work at underage we can look at winning titles and then kick on down the line."
