Replying To straightred: "Ryan has a shop in Drumshambo, lives there part time. Brothers fell out with the home club they went to Leitrim end of story. How many players has Mohil, Ballinamore, Carrick or Manor taken from they're surrounding clubs catchments over the years. oh oh oh but that's different they'll all say." What players did mohill and ballnamore bring in over the years? Thejampot (Leitrim) - Posts: 362 - 06/10/2025 17:09:43 2638713 Link
Replying To straightred: "No one had an issue with a Cavan man or Louth man playing in goals for Leitrim" With respect, the rules are that Latitude is given for players whose parents are from different counties. I don't know the Cavan or Louth man you refer to but I suspect you will find they have Leitrim parents or connections. Here in Roscommon we have had a goalie who is from Galway but his father is from Roscommon. The issue with the three players originally from Fermanagh is whether they live in the Leitrim area (and I believe at least one or two them do) and if they don't , have they got parents from the club area. If one of them doesn't live or has no connections, then they are soft ground tommyc (Roscommon) - Posts: 18 - 06/10/2025 17:27:25 2638715 Link
Replying To juande_ramos: "One of them owns a pharmacy in Drumshanbo. The other two have no connection as far as i am aware. None of them reside full time in the county either to my knowledge which i understood to be a requirement?? Derrygonnelly seems to be getting on just fine without the Jones' anyway. Into another county final without breaking a sweat." One owns and runs a pharmacy in Drumshanbo and is married and Leitrim and the other teaches in Manorhamilton. They hadn't played club football for a year and transferred to Leitrim. I am not a Leitrim Gaels man but I think they have improved the standard of football in the county and I for one am thankful for that.

Genuine question, would Leitrim Gaels be anywhere near a final if the Jones brothers were not on the team? Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1400 - 06/10/2025 19:09:44 2638738 Link
My unbiased review of the weekends action Derrygonnolly vs Mohill Before the game leitrim village must have prayed to the wind gods as the first half was a complete annilation. Mohill battled back well in the second half but their goose was aleady 'cooked', no pun intended. Cannot help but think that marys wouldve given LV a better challenge Fenagh vs Bmore Brilliant game with great quality shown from both teams. Expect a ding dong battle in the second leg, hopefully both teams can msintain their form. I hope either team can give the biscuits to derrygonnolly in the final.

Replying To Spinx: "Genuine question, would Leitrim Gaels be anywhere near a final if the Jones brothers were not on the team?" They were a solid outfit for many years , were in back to back semi finals a few years back running Mohill close both years.They have a great underage structure but no doubt the arrival of the Jones brothers have brought them to another level. I for one have no issues with them joining, any other club including my own would have gladly took them. JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 298 - 06/10/2025 20:55:49 2638750 Link
Replying To Spinx: "Genuine question, would Leitrim Gaels be anywhere near a final if the Jones brothers were not on the team?" Yes have been there or there about for the past two years. Have contributed several players to senior intercounty set up for a good while now. The return of David Breun. Is a massive boost for them and might see them over the line. I think in General around the county there is a fair amount of goodwill toward Leitrim and the Jones. Some very bitter folk on here. But it will stick in the craw for a club if the were bet in a county final i am sure. But Fenagh and Ballinamore will fancy going toe to toe . Great quality teams left. Mohill will be disappointed that a less than full strength team failed to start last weekend. But there is a lot of quaility in the final four in Leitrim this year.

Don't think a Marys team that LG already hammered and couldn't beat Melvin Gaels would have done better then Mohill SeanMacDiarmada (Leitrim) - Posts: 427 - 06/10/2025 22:31:13 2638761 Link
Replying To Spinx: "Genuine question, would Leitrim Gaels be anywhere near a final if the Jones brothers were not on the team?" No..only a couple of decent players outside of the lads Zucker (Leitrim) - Posts: 160 - 06/10/2025 23:09:29 2638766 Link

the Jones Boys are a huge addition to Leitrim Gaels please thanks but the fact that they do not live in the greater area is very very off putting. This is not what club football should be about thanks. Should not be parachuting in players like this to win things, it is not right and I won't stand for it. Thank you to everyone for agreeing with me on this issue of national importance yes. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 283 - 07/10/2025 11:20:16 2638807 Link
Replying To southleitrim_mafia: "You are correct. How many of the current and past mohill players of the last 10 years were born and reared in the catchment areas of Gortletteragh and Eslin? Certainly more than 3. I do not agree with the three players being allowed to transfer to Leitrim Gaels and I also don't agree that having them in our club championship will be for the betterment of Leitrim football. That being said any club in the county could have objected to the transfer but they didn't." Gortletteragh isn't Mohill's catchment area. It stands on its own and is a bigger parish in area than Mohill. Eslin is obviously a different story. alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 32 - 07/10/2025 12:08:01 2638816 Link
I think that three lads from Fermanagh of all places altering the trajectory of the club championship in Leitrim shows how weak the club scene is at the minute here alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 32 - 07/10/2025 12:55:07 2638820 Link
Replying To alalalalalum: "Gortletteragh isn't Mohill's catchment area. It stands on its own and is a bigger parish in area than Mohill. Eslin is obviously a different story." Yes you are correct. But I never said Gortletteragh was in Mohills catchment area. I said how many "mohill players of the last 10 years were born and reared in the catchment area of Gortletteragh". Meaning someone who was born and reared in gortletteragh has played for mohill. Leitrimforliam (Leitrim) - Posts: 327 - 07/10/2025 13:45:06 2638832 Link
Replying To alalalalalum: "I think that three lads from Fermanagh of all places altering the trajectory of the club championship in Leitrim shows how weak the club scene is at the minute here" Please refrain from negativity when it's been a positive campaign thus far. I would appreciate this and I think on cold reflection looking inward towards yershelf you will also see this and you will be thankful in the long term. Thank you. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 283 - 07/10/2025 13:45:54 2638833 Link

I thought South Leitrim mafia said that though, but maybe I'm incorrect. I wouldn't know that statistics but maybe you or the other poster could supply it. It surely isnt that high? alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 32 - 07/10/2025 15:04:31 2638845 Link

Lot of bitterness here about the deadline day transfers of the jones'.. more power to them and Derrygonnelly Gaels I say. If the influx of three players can make such a change to Leitrim club football, then I'm afraid we need to have a much deeper conversation.... Very interested to see Allen Gaels and Annaduff this weekend. Most tipping Allen Gaels but I wouldn't write off Annaduff. Their 'keeper came off early in the QF with what looked like a shoulder/collarbone... will he be back? Their sub keeper seemed a strong option off the bench, so they might be okay. Darren Cox ran the show, but I was very impressed with Annaduff's forwards. Darren assumed more of a quarter back position, letting quality ball in. Carrigallen couldn't keep up with the pace of Annaduff forwards. 4:20 is big scoring in knockout football, do Allen Gaels have the backs to step up? There will be some incredible matchups in Pairc Sean on Sunday. Big pitch will suit both teams. My tenner is on the draw, justafanofthegame (Leitrim) - Posts: 1 - 07/10/2025 16:06:30 2638857 Link

Three brothers from Leitrim village, grew up there, started underage there, living in the centre of the village all won a few county titles with Carrick in recent years, 2022, and not a word about it.
