Leitrim defender Paddy Maguire is confident that the side can bounce back from their Connacht SFC defeat to Roscommon.
Last weekend, the Rossies confined Leitrim to the qualifiers following a comfortable win that saw Shane Ward's charges finish the game with 12 men.
Maguire admitted to the Leitrim Observer that there was huge disappointment in the dressingroom afterwards but added that the group were determined to pull together and give the qualifiers a good go.
"It's very disappointing," said Maguire. "The lads are all gutted. The amount of effort that was put into training, we were ready for that game. They got an early goal and it took us a while to recover from that.
He added: "We were nine points down at half time but we never gave up and we came at them again in the second half. I think their experience from doing so well in Division One got them over the line. There are days like that but we will regroup and go at it again."
