These Limerick fuckers arenāt adhering to the script in Kilmallock.
We trail 0-07 to 0-05 at leath ama. It has all the hallmarks of a dour struggle.
Get in there.

Amen to that. Thatās the 3rd.game on the trot weāve gone to the well in injury time.
All fine and dandy when it works but that rub of the green wonāt last forever. Better to knock it out of their heads early and stop filling Sligo General with coronary cases.
Leitrim and Cork next year bro.
Would this be considered a decent Leitrim crop? Full pick of players?
It was nearly all Leitrim support at the match.
There was a group stood behind me and at half time one of them announces heās going to the shop.
āWill you get me a tea?ā one of his friends roars as he walks off.
āGo away and shiteā was the answer.
At that moment the fabric of GAA and rural Ireland never felt closer. Some party when they get promoted and good luck to them.

Dod you meet DancingBaby?
Fairly sure I spotted him in Houlihanās pre match watching the racing, muttering on about āGordonā to his pals. Heās taller than Iād have thought.
That sounds like him alright
Yes.
We have still lost players from last year but we have a good bunch of players for the first time in a while.

Congrats to Leitrim .
A great achievement from Hyland in his year.
Absolutely, top men.
Leitrim-Galway Connacht final so.
Hon Leitrim 
Well done Leitrim
The win assures promotion but this was our worst performance of the league to date.
The father of one of our more prominent players confided to me that " the pressure, despite Hylandās experience was massive ". It was visible on the field we foostered and spilled passes and hit Hail Maryās everywhere.
The goal settled things (a scuttery scramble tbf) and we upped the intensity without pulling away. H/T 1-04 to 0-04. Hyland in fairness to him isnāt slow on the line and he whipped young Dolan at the break. This concerns me slightly as the lad is a terrific talent, big but young and heās been off the pace of late.
The contest ground to itās pretty inevitable conclusion, cheered by the introduction of Mulligan at the death. I bit my tongue and enjoyed the cameraderie.
Mar focail scoir, I was walking in with 2 grandsons when I got a jab of an umbrella in the arse. An Annaduff warrior called Timmy. We had a super oulā slobber about bygone days and days ahead. Afterwards the kids asked about him and I proffered an answer.
I withheld the fact that heād mugged me off in the 1969 Annaduff/Fenagh championship. I was marking him with 5 to go and the teams level when I allowed the ball go over the sideline off me. Timmy the cute fucker picked it up and blazed away to create the winning goal. The fucking linesman was lighting a fag with his back turned when the ball went out.
But itās on occasions like this itās actually all been worthwhile.
