Was the 14 point beating in knockout football not good enough?

I know this has been discussed previously but the coverage our games get locally is atrocious, Fermanagh and Cavan can get there club games covered both by local press and streaming it's appalling to see not a word in local paper about certain games and alot of time a few petty lines about them. Time they got there finger out and did something about it. The Celt can cover all the Cavan games plus the Monaghan one's we cant even get our few covered properly

I made a post a few weeks back suggesting that every club should start posting lineouts or teamsheets and score updates across social media (an few clubs do this, annaduff the best of them for it) and I received a nasty response from a regular user on this forum.

I have also seen someone on twitter describe Leitrim as "the North Korea of club scores" county board have to do better to promote our games and our players.

What was said to you? Every club has a PRO, if they can't be bothered to post a few team sheets and score updates then they're not up to the job. If they can't make a game, couldn't be much hassle to give the login to another club member or injured/ non playing squad member to take the reins. Plenty of diaspora want to know how their club is doing this time of year

This is quite an important issue, Annaduff seem to be the most up to date (by a long way) regarding posting scores, all their adult games the sores are posted almost immediately, their underage are also well posted, maybe not every score but most or at least the team sheet, half time / full time scores. It makes following a club from a distance quite easy and more enjoyable.
Also another issue is the reluctancy of the county board to come on board with clubber, all our neighbouring counties have their games on this platform so would be nice to be able to watch the games on this also.

Must agree with you black puvvving that annaduff are the standard bearers in this and many other things as well both on and off the field. Thank you so much for bringing this to light so millions.

I would add Manorhamilton, Bornacoola, and Carrigallen to the clubs who are pretty good at keeping you updated with scores.

Local media, however, especially newspapers, are a huge embarrassment when it comes to their coverage of Leitrim GAA. Championship.

Predictions for this weekend

Senior Relegation Final
A full strength Manorhamilton won't take Aughawillian for granted. But it's been a long tough season for Aughawillian, and a return to Intermediate might not be the worst thing.
Manorhamilton by 6

Intermediate
Bornacoola v Melvin Gaels
Despite scraping into the knockouts, Bornacoola could have won all 4 of their group games. They're pretty much at full strength now. Damien Moran and Shane Mallon are county quality players. Melvin Gaels' play is built around a strong defence but has struggled for scores. Darragh Rooney's injury is an awful loss.
Melvin Gaels stronger bench might be the difference .
Melvin Gaels by 3

Gortletteragh v Dromahair
Brendan Naughton's injury was a huge hit to Gortletteragh's defence, but the recent return from injury of Jack Heslin and Ryan Cunningham is huge. The introduction of 4/5 injury returnees in the 2nd half against Carrigallen completely changed the game. Dromahair is a big physical team, and in Adam Gethin's, they have a quality forward. This is a difficult game to call and may come down to who wins the midfield battle.
Gortletteragh by 1

Junior A
Glenfarne Kiltyclogher and Mohill B are already confirmed for the relegation final, so there's very little at stake for the last round of games.
Maybe the structure should be changed to something similar to the senior and intermediate championship.
Eslin and Ballinaglera's season finished 2 weeks ago.

Agreed that finishing championship in the first week of September with nothing to show for it is pointless and there should be relegation semi finals, winning one game that isn't a relegation final to stay up makes a bit of a mockery of the championship. Nonsense like that is why some clubs don't take junior seriously and have no real desire to get out of it
