Despite two losses from their opening two matches, Leitrim manager Shane Ward stressed that they would not be giving up the fight for promotion from Division Four.

A second one-point loss in the league would be enough to sicken any side, but Ward states in the Leitrim Observer that although it would be hard, they would keep battling to the end.

"It does make it very hard," said Ward. "You need to win the five games now and put the pressure on the other ones. It is going to be all there to play for and we're looking for ten points for the rest of the league.

"It is a funny league, there will be other teams that will take points off each other like Antrim, Louth, Wexford and so on. Wicklow now are going to have a bit of momentum and teams are going to find it hard against them when they are looking to get points on the board."
