Anyone know the story with Kevin Conlon?
I think heās injured farmer,paddy Maguire and keaney are big losses too.Same shite every year we lose a few we gain a few.Christ if we had a full panel weād surely give promotion a rattle.Next week will tell a bit more.The three dubs should help out no end.
Leitrim manager Brendan Guckian believes that facing Galway on Sunday will give them a better idea of where they currently are in terms of preparation for the NFL.
Guckian got his inter-county managerial career off to a flying start last weekend when they comfortably defeated GMIT in the opening round of the Connacht FBD league.
However, they face a much tougher test when they take on Galway in round two on Sunday next, but Guckian stressed to the Leitrim Observer that this is an ideal game for them.
āWeāre looking forward to Galway because obviously you are playing a much higher standard of football, we wonāt get as much time on the ball,ā said Guckian.
āOur lads are going to be put under a lot more pressure so they are going to have to think a lot quicker on their feet and obviously we are going to have to defend better because if we give the Galway forward line the space we gave GMIT at times, they are really going to punish us.ā

Donal Wrynn has been named as Leitrim captain for 2017.
The Fenagh midfielder skippered the green and golds for the first time in last Sundayās facile Connacht SFL first round win over GMIT, succeeding Gary Reynolds in the role. Wayne McKeon has been appointed vice-captain.
āIt is a great honour, I wasnāt expecting it obviously being fairly young on the team, but Benny (Guckian, manager) obviously has trust in me and Iām delighted to get the opportunity,ā Wrynn told the Leitrim Observer.
āI donāt intend on changing, trying to be more vocal. Trying to lead by example would be more my style to be honest and if I can do that, that would be the way.ā
Longfordās U21s at home to Leitrim in the semi finals of the Hastings Cup. Meath play Cavan in the other one.Times & venues to be confirmed
A unique occasion, a worthy and inspirational leader and a massive stroke appointing Wayne as V/C.
Two warriors dedicated to the cause and closure finally to the āBeergateā affair.
A tremendous accolade for Donal and indeed the Fenagh club. A point not lost on the writer as the accolade rested with the Willies, but goes to show that Benny has sussed the issue, buried the few remaining hatchets, thrown the gauntlet down to all-comers and shown himself to be an all-encompassing manager.
Donal Wrynn will lead from the front. I had a brief chat with him St.Stephenās night in the Abbey Bar as he sucked a bottle of water:
DW: Yerā a gas man Boxty at this carry-on yet.
Boxty: Yerra Donal Iām at it a long time.
DW: Dyāa know your oulā lad was the last winning captain of a Senior team here (1932).
Boxty: I do Donal, I have the medal.
DW: Iāll put one to it in my time.
Canāt say fairer than that.
