Replying To Leitrimforsam2024:  "Players I think poacher should be looking at for the coming year definitely will have missed a few so feel free to add suggestions. Haven't included any u20 players eligible for next year.
Niall Walsh (moycullen )
Dillon Beirne (Ballinamore)
Paul Moran (Ballinamore)
Conal McGovern (fenagh)
Jack Rowley ( mohill)
Adam Gethins (Dromahair)
Dan Bosquette (Annaduff)
Callum Andrew's (fenagh)
David Bruen (leitrim Gaels)
Shaun Chandler ( Leitrim Gaels)"
Yeah I'd agree with most, especially Andrews. He's in my opinion is a real talent with some exceptional attributes and someone with the right coaching in a few years could be a mainstay on the county, if given the opportunity. Think nerves could be his Achilles heal tho.

Time, coaching and if doing the most of the heavy lifting in that assessment. He's a fine, brave shot-stopper with a range of kicking abilities. Time heals all wounds apart from the misfortunate Achilles who was vulnerable to a sly kick to the heel.

Dromahair at no good unless defending a lead. Very defensive and mundane

Given they threw away huge leads in both the quarter and semi final, even the veracity of that statement is in question. Annaduff further down the road with some better youth. Dromahair have last years U20 B and this year U17 B winners to build on. Poor standard of a game overall. Big gap between top end of IFC and Senior

As I correctly predicted annaduff won comfortable. Thank you everyone for realising how on the pulse I am here. Thanks so millions.

I think its spot on.. they won them games didn't they? They might have through away big leads but they still won. I believe the previous comment meant that when they're ahead, they close it out even if its by the skin of their teeth but when losing a game they are bang average. Today once Annaduff, got the goal, it was lights out.

Annaduff better team on the day Dromahair nullified cox for 40 minutes but the cream always rises to the top, he went to town for 10 minutes and buried dromahair. Dromahair very young Annaduff just that little bit further down the road I'd expect dromahair to win it in the next 3/4 years .. some very impressive minors to add to a solid core. I think Annaduff will go back down but they'll be very competitive and may suprise 1 or 2 including myself hopefully from their pov … enjoy the celebrations in the N4 blatach.

i would not encourage anyone to celebrate on the N4 thank you for suggesting it so I can highlight how dangerous this could be so millions. It is a very busy road and i won't do it. Thank you again. Well done to Annaduff please and I hope they enjoy the celebrations.

any predictions for the senior replay, i'm going Fenagh, based on the fact Maxwell is out and Ballinamore don't seem to have a replacement so an out field player will have to go in goals. Fenagh by 6

Really looking forward to the replay this weekend, the quality on display the last day was top class. Without looking too far ahead I would fancy the winner to come through against whatever is coming out of Munster with Dingle gone.

This weather will mess up any plans for a great game of football :(

I think that this speculation about Mickey is done intentionally to distract hims from the game tomorrow thanks so much for acknowledging this. The great Mickey needs a clear mind for the task tomorrow and I know he will remain tight lipped despite all the speculation swirling about him in the media at home and abroad so millions. Please don't distract him thanks so much everyone.

Weather forecast not good for tomorrow, heavy wind and rain forecast which will probably make it a lottery of a game, I'd love to see Fenagh win a championship but I fear they have missed the boat, the last minute goal they conceded was eerily similar to 99 , a Fenagh man said to me after the game that he thinks he'll never see them winning a senìor championship, he was distraught like they'd lost the game. Ballinamore having been so close to losing 3 finals on a row will get the job gone. Prior and Honeyman will hardly be as quiet again and they have the stronger bench. Ballinamore by 4 points.

Given the weather promised for the weekend, is there a chance that the senior replay and junior final may not be played?

I do always believe that that team that has made the comeback in the previous encounter has the advantage... I said it earlier in the year that I thought B'more were the team to beat and I'm sticking by that. I didn't expect Fenagh to get this far... but I think their chance is gone. Would love to see them win but you have to take your chances when they come as they may never come about again.

Have not heard anything re the replay surely the powers that be are not asleep at the wheel here, and look at postponing the game with the orange weather warning, double header with the Junior A final on Sunday seems like the only option for this weekend.
