Leitrim manager Shane Ward feels his side has "a good chance" of beating Louth at Drogheda on Saturday.

But Ward will be looking for a performance from his players first and foremost and expects that, after that, the result will look after itself:

"I expect a very competitive game. It is a game that we feel we have a good chance in but it is a game that Louth will feel they have a good chance of winning and they will have the advantage of being at home, which will help them a bit," he says in The Leitrim Observer.

"I expect it to be very competitive and we will have to take our chances if we want to progress.

"We'll take the focal point off winning or losing a particular game - as we have all throughout the year - and will be looking first and foremost for a performance.

"We will be looking forward to the challenge. We have a young team who are looking to get as many games as we can under their belts to help in their development, players who are looking to improve. If they do that, I'd be confident that we are in with a good chance next Saturday."
