Replying To gaelsboy:  "Very optimistic then again I reckoned Sligo would beat us easily so to hell with it, why shouldn't we try go out and win it, the pressure is on them not us.
A wet day would actually suit us better, the dry day and fast ball will test our fitness levels a bit too much and Galway will likely have a bit too much for us.
The Sligo gave us much to be proud of but until we get up to division 3 and stay there, we won't go toe to toe with division 1 or 2 teams for long. A decent performance could give us some belief in a proper run in the TC."
Flynns on main street. Great pints

Replying To bláthach:  "If we get by Galway (unlikely I know) who or who would we put on Kobe McDonald in the Connacht final please so millions? Thanks for considering this tactical conundrum."
No need Blathers to be bothered about Kobe. It will be the second level competition aka the Tailteann Cup for ye boys after Saturday. I expect a full on Leitrim assault first half though, a kinda blitzkrieg so to say. Mc Nulty in the engine room. A real life panzer who can punch holes in the Galway defense. All said Galway by at least seven.
A speedy Roscommon with an unfortunate injury list meaning the Mayo lads are hot favourites. Mayo by four I'd say. Just unfortunately Creggs appeal isn't going to be overturned. A gigantic loss. Still three Connacht teams in the All Ireland series proper so that's good for the province. Nice colour around Hillstreet and the Ros side of Carrick this morning. Primrose and Blue are lovely colors. Love to all.

Replying To fundamunda:  "My final prediction. anyone else like to give theirs...of course im an optimist....Leitrim 1-18 (21)
Galway 0-19 (19)"
Leitrim 0-13 Galway 2-22. And another prediction ohwow will be at home watching it on GAA+ while the good decent and honest Leitrim folk will be in attendance supporting their team.

Great to see Roscommon getting in the excuses early for when they inevitably calve on Sunday please and thanks. Oh we have injuries and suspensions please. Every county has that thank you but you don't hear the big two at that nonsense excuse making. Thanks so much.

I see the Leitrim u20 team and senior teams are named for this weekends games. The best five u20's not playing with the u20's because of the senior game and none of the five are starting for the senior team either. We dont help ourselves do we. We complain about lack of consistency at underange level and this is the respect shown to the Philly McGuinness Cup final. I dont know who's worse, the Connacht Council for the fixture clash or the Leitrim Co Board for allowing this to happen.
