Yes I was. Leitrim played some brilliant football against a poor Longford side with the Longford manager only having had one session with them before the Leitrim game. Nice to see a few new additions to the team starting Niamh Morahan, Aoibhin mcgoldrick, kate gormley and martina gallagher. My POTM has to be Emma Guckina, played a blinder getting herself scores and setting them up. Hoping they get promoted this year.

The ladies should definitely be operating at a higher league. But look up to them to do that. Likewise I hope they get promoted.

Replying To southleitrim_mafia:  "I think scrapping the Spring League and moving to a 10-team league is a good decision overall. Fewer games, but more meaningful and competitive ones.

What I don't understand is why the last three games need to be worth three points. Is this genuinely about competitiveness, or is it really to suit the bigger clubs once their county players return? It feels like early results are being devalued for no real reason.

We've also reduced the club calendar. In 2024 there were 6 Spring League games plus 7 league round-robin games. Under the new system there are fewer games overall, which should logically mean an earlier championship. That seems like basic common sense.

Unfortunately, common sense often seems to be in short supply when it comes to decisions from the Leitrim County Board.

Finally, I'd be quite embarrassed as a St Mary's player or supporter at their failed proposal to seed next year's championship. It stinks of sore-loser behaviour and suggests a lack of faith from the club in their own players to win a championship in the current format.

In any case, if it had passed, wouldn't they have been seeded last anyway after finishing in the relegation places last year?"
Where was it announced that the Spring League was getting scrapped?

It was discussed at the AGM. AGM minutes should be online somewhere

I think ladies league is one team up and one down right? That makes it awful tough going, the intermediate win 2 years ago was brilliant and no doubt they will target it again but league promotion has to nearly be a bigger target

Changed to 2 up 2 down a couple of years ago. But for some reason, in Div 4 the top 4 go into semifinals (in the other three, the top 2 go straight into the final), and the semifinal winners go up (and contest the Div 4 final).

Any word on Barry mc Nultys availability for league. He was one of top players in sigerson last year and named on sigerson team of year but haven't seen him feature for the college or Leitrim so far and wondering if he's injured. Be big loss if not available

Hamstring injury. Unlikely to be available this weekend.

Ah yes, it was the semis stage where they kept falling short. Definitely held them back a bit in senior last year not getting the better quality opposition in the run up to championship but probably just too massive a step up anyway, hoping they can do a double this year. The ladies nearly always compete better than the lads but with far less resources allocated to prep, facilities etc. they get on with it rather than complaining about who's in or out. I wish them well for the year ahead

Massive loss. We'll be doing well to keep touch with Wicklow. Not the end of the world if we loose but puts us under obvious pressure for the rest of the league.
