And if Manorhamilton win on Tuesday they'll be out again the following Friday. Three games in 7 days ridiculous scheduling by the Connacht GAA for a group of U17s at a time you hear so much about player burn out. Poacher and his management look like a decent appointment for Leitrim seniors, main issue for Leitrim under Moran and was never addressed in his years there was poorly set up defensively and strength and conditioning. Poacher and co focus on those areas then Leitrim could well stay up in Div 3 next year. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3501 - 26/10/2024 17:37:14 2577048 Link 1 |
Sure in fairness won't we have to be parking the bus in div 3 anyway to have any hope in staying up in it and being competitive.

The County Board have reacted quickly to the Graham departure to be fair to them. Boxtyeater (Leitrim) - Posts: 715 - 26/10/2024 21:09:38 2577085 Link 0 |
Considering the reports about teams already back training several weeks I don't think Leitrim could have waited much longer. joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 515 - 26/10/2024 21:56:33 2577092 Link 1 |
I wish yee luck with the latest mgmt team appointment. I fear it's not in the slightest interest of Leitrim football. No sign of a selector from Leitrim there and I doubt these lads have a clue about Leitrim football. We suffered our own fate from a similar setup recently. I realise the CB backs were too the wall but let's be honest this is your 2nd manager in a row with no intercounty mgmt experience. Dont let yourselves become the academy for new managers!!

In fairness they have and they needed to, as any management would have had oceans of work do for the start of the season. I'm curious as to what happened with O'Hara. He certainly was everyone's favourite for the job. Like yourself it's a wait and see approach to this appointment... the backroom team assembled feels a bit underwhelming and it is disappointing that no Leitrim man is involved in the Senior setup. Barry McWeeney should have been kept in the Senior setup but perhaps they wanted a clean slate. At least we now have a man with a track record and not a lad with 3 months experience....

Is it even possible to park the bus when these new rules are introduced. If it is possible we are gonna find out!!

Don't agree.Defence has been our weakest sector so Poacher will address it. The new rules will put added pressure on backs & we have a real problem there with possible loss of some of the current squad.

Were there any good backs on the U20s over the last two years?

I wonder who is in Barry McWeeneys backroom team for the U20's. I would like to see Dominic Kelly involved. He's doing great work with Manor underage and has all those teams very well drilled and coached. He's an O'Hara type figure on the lone but he's worth a punt. meathbasedfan (Leitrim) - Posts: 130 - 29/10/2024 14:56:32 2577469 Link 0 |
Given the new management, here are some players across the U20/Senior grade I think they should bring in, have a few in house games like the recent interpros similar to what Andy did at the beginning of his term. Some are current co players, some are not. Definitely one or two in every club to look at. Some should be co players but haven't shown the interest and likely won't. Some would be co players and younger players would have to out perform decent club players in the trial games to be considered. Would be a worthwhile exercise to identify late developing talent outside the traditional County Squad Structure. Bearing in mind collective training doesn't start til December, of course.

Now that the dust has settled with the Andy Moran/Mickey Graham appointment and quitting debacle (where nobody comes out looking good). Leitrim1234 (Leitrim) - Posts: 319 - 29/10/2024 21:05:28 2577524 Link 0 |
Glencar Manor U17s beat the Sligo champions 1-15 to 0-10 tonight and will face Oranmore in the final. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3501 - 29/10/2024 21:58:35 2577531 Link 0 |
Congrats to the Glencar Manorhamilton minors super result in connacht. Outstanding level of football once again. A very promising future for Glencar Manor. Main stand out players where the goalkeeper young Sheridan with 2 top class saves, young gilligan top drawer interceptions, Bailey mcbride dominant in middle field and Jack Kelly was very good once again. Best of luck to them, go the whole way! Marzo_louglin94 (Leitrim) - Posts: 4 - 30/10/2024 00:13:06 2577547 Link 0 |
Well done to Manor, hopefully they go on to win the final what a boost that would be for Leitrim football. Manor have been struggling a little at senior level the last few years but the future looks bright for them. Ridiculous though they have to play again Friday evening - what's the rush to get it played so quickly, surely they could allow at least a week between games?

There doesn't need to be a Connacht minor championship at all so I don't know why you're so obsessed with the timing of it. It has always been played off within a week and it's just unfortunate if you get put into the QF and have to play 3 games to win it. It's scheduled when the schools are closed because most those lads are playing with school teams and I can imagine they have no great complaints as it's all bonus territory.
