I donât have full team mate but Mulligan has got the 2 points and Kevin Conlon is playing.
Presume we have 13 others but judging by the scoreline, I wouldnât be too sure !!
Down 2-8 Leitrim 0-2
Down 2-9 Leitrim 0-3 - Sean McWeeney with the Leitrim score
Down 2-9 Leitrim 0-4 - Robbie Lowe
Half Time
Down 2-10 Leitrim 0-4
Down 3-14 Leitrim 0-5
Down 4-15 Leitrim 0-6
Down 4-16 Leitrim 0-7
Full Time.
Down 4-18 Leitrim 0-9.
Another year finishes with a fierce beating.
:(:rolleyes:
Jesus thatâs some hiding for football.
Donât think itâs this bad myself :
Leitrim County Board secretary Diarmuid Sweeney says they would be better off competing at junior level on the inter-county stage.
Just two days after their 0-9 to 4-18 qualifier humiliation at the hands of Down in Newry, Sweeney said to the Examiner: âWe canât expect to keep taking hammerings like Sundayâ.
"Under the current system, there is always going to be a gap between teams and it is only going to grow as time goes on.
"There is talk of entering Leitrim in the Junior Championship and forgetting about Senior status. It would be a big move. Consideration needs to be given to that and the question needs to be asked âwould Leitrim be better served in the junior championshipâ.
"The Junior Championship can be competitive and maybe that is the level we are at.
âWe got to the Junior Connacht Final this year with a stand-alone Junior team and had we the Senior boys involved, we could have gone further and had a good run for the All-Ireland, playing at a level where we really are at.â
The Connacht countyâs secretary added: "I wouldnât like us to reach the stage where we donât enter like Kilkenny did.
"In the absence of a B Championship at Senior level, we just focus on the Junior. That would allow us to build for a period of time until we are able to compete further up the ladder.
âThere needs to be a sit-down about this, the same for the counties who are in a similar position to us. For certain counties, defeat is inevitable each year. It canât continue.â

With leadership like that the only way is down. Thereâs no reason why they canât get fit and get as far as division 2.
Agree mate.
Weâve shipped hammerings from Mayo, Armagh and Down in recent years. I think most realistic Leitrim supporters would have expected bad beatings in those matches, although maybe not to the extent that they did lose by.
Minors won the Connacht league this year and under 21s got to the provincial final so the future is far from bleak.
We were pushing for promotion to Div 3 with 2 games to go aswell.
Fuck your Junior Championship Sweeney. 20 years ago we were Kings of Connacht and we will rise again.
Liatroim Abu
Mohill beat Allen Gaels 1-15 to 0-10 in championship tonight 
The only positive thing Sweeney said there was, "In the absence of a B Championship at Senior levelââ.
Really needs to be looked at.
Leitrim have only ever won 1 qualifier game out of 14 :oops:
