So effectively they are holding out in the hope that Galway will be in both hurling and football finals and play them as a double header on the Sunday?

Yes that is the idea behind it. All will be known on Monday morning.

Few things from Celtic Park the other night. Wouldn't get to hung up on the result and we did rally at one point in the second half which was a positive. Outside of that though it was a poor performance. Good to get game time into a few returning players. And to only be down a point at half time with so many players making debuts is a real positive.

Must say I like 'OnTheBanks' team for the game against Waterford. But the risk of injury worries me. Leitrim1234 (Leitrim) - Posts: 241 - 21/03/2019 15:59:29 2174225 Link 2 0 |
Hurling national league finals are not played in croke park as far as i know. All hurling championship cup finals are played in croker, Christy ring cup final, lory Meagher final, Liam mc Cathy final (obviously) anyway in that way all counties hurling wise get a fair crack at playing a final in croker so the gaa do not extend it to the national league finals ( IMO that's fair enough) Football wise - every county plays for the Sam Maguire cup so the gas open up all national league to aid to be played in croker to give every county a fair crack at playing in croke park. Add that to all senior , intermediate and junior club finals played in croker then all club players are given a chance to play at HQ. In all the GAA are giving everyone the chance to play there. This year we get to play there, and we will. The hurling division 1 final won't be at croker (stand to be corrected but I don't believe it is ever at HQ) but it will be on the same weekend. This poses a problem for TG4 who may be obliged to show the hurling div 1 final and all NFL division finals live, a fixtures headache but a minor one leitrim4sam (Leitrim) - Posts: 436 - 21/03/2019 21:50:32 2174274 Link 0 0 |
I think Terry Fyland will prob start his weaker team again this weekend as he did last weekend and maybe introduce some of the starting players for Croker later in the game to both keep them fresh and also give them game time to keep them sharp but doubt he will give them the seventy minutes. So I would think you could see the likes of McCrann, Mulligan, Reynolds maybe etc again on Saturday as they won't start in Croker. Only my opinion.............what do ye think??? tashy (Roscommon) - Posts: 94 - 22/03/2019 10:16:37 2174325 Link 0 0 |
All reports are indicating that the football and hurling division 1 finals will be in Croke Park as a double header on Sunday seeing as Dublin haven't qualified for the football. SeanMacDiarmada (Leitrim) - Posts: 284 - 22/03/2019 12:38:40 2174354 Link 0 0 |
Tashy, looks like you're spot on. Aside from rotation, I do think it's still important to beat Waterford. It would be a pity, and a bit worrying, to go to Croke Park on the back of two defeats. Still, I'm looking forward to it. offyertrolley (Leitrim) - Posts: 131 - 22/03/2019 15:51:18 2174394 Link 0 0 |
Good win today lads.Terry has a few big calls to make selection wise for next week. moesyzlack (USA) - Posts: 160 - 23/03/2019 22:26:43 2174597 Link 0 0 |

Would be very worried about the amount of goal chances Waterford created considering most of our first choice defence and our sweeper played. Derry won't miss that many. SeanMacDiarmada (Leitrim) - Posts: 284 - 24/03/2019 07:25:09 2174617 Link 0 0 |
Good win yesterday , 6 wins out of 7 is easily the best league campaign I ever remember us having and it's good to be going into next weekends final on the back of a win. Terry Hyland has a few big calls to make in selecting his team as the likes of Cathal McCrann, Conor Cullen, Conor Reynolds and Emlyn all put their hands up for selection yesterday with excellent displays, Jack Heslin was very rusty after his lay off but he will have a big part to play next Saturday as his pace and running will be suited to croker , our panel is very strong this year which is very important. My big worry is the amount of goal chances we gave up , only for Cathal Waterford would have got 5 goals and they ran through the centre of our defence far too easily. We need to be much tighter as Derry will exploit this in the wide open spaces of croke park as they have better forwards that Waterford. Congratulations to the team and management on a great campaign and enjoy Croke Park (promotion was our main aim and thats been achieved, so the pressure is off so lets perform to the level this talented team is capable of), Derry will be tough but If we play to our best we'll be there or thereabouts at the end. Wouldn't seeing Michael McWeeney lift the cup in the Hogan stand be something else?? The very best of luck lads. green.and.gold (Leitrim) - Posts: 368 - 24/03/2019 08:34:56 2174623 Link 1 0 |
I've said it here before it's a weird sensation coming on here after scoring 1-20 yes I repeat 1-20, winning and not being overly satisfied. All the while resting some of our key players. OnTheBank (Australia) - Posts: 145 - 24/03/2019 10:33:56 2174644 Link 1 0 |

A decent performance from Leitrim yesterday. And some players played above their usual performances but the team that beat London should be the one that starts the final, Derry will be a different basht to Watersfjord. This isn't the time for experimentation, go with the team that got us there in the first place.

Lord bless us. London are on course to finish bottom of division 4 and we beat them by five points. Can you add some sort of decent analysis instead of the vitriol that you have kept up on here for the last few years.

My point was the team that played London was the team that had been playing in most of the games previous, so therefore that team should be picked for our final fatref. Very little vitriol coming from my direction, no idear what you're on about. I said it was a good result isn't it.

So am I right in thinking the NFL Div 4 final will go ahead at 3pm on Saturday with the Div 2 Final to follow? Chipstix (Leitrim) - Posts: 7 - 24/03/2019 17:21:47 2174790 Link 0 0 |
