Leitrim Gaa 2026

Annaduff have been worthy favourites here from the off and nothing has changed. Dromahair have a grand crop of young lads and this may have come a year or two too soon for them.
Two things at play here - Dromahair will regain senior status in the very near future and if the Duffers don’t do it this year I’d be afraid for them.

Ballinaglera world be a great fit for them I think, might get them both back up to intermediate and comfortablly fielding 2 teams. Kinlough have 3 teams as it is, I wouldn’t be in favour of bigger clubss getting more resources. Did osnats folding improve Manors numbers anything? I recall you saying before they were not that serious of footballers

Yeah Ballinaglera would be a good fit for them.Osnatts was started back in the boom as a junior club to keep a few of the Manor Rangers lads fit in the off season tbf.Anyone from Glencar who was any good was already playing for Manor anyways (Rooneys Devanneys) etc.

Fair play to Glenfarrne, that would have been embarrassing.

Lads ā€œco-founding their own businessā€ need to be viewed with suspicion.
Will we ever be rid of this leech? Of course not….Grrrr……

My thoughts exactly, has he worked with any county or top level club teams before? Or just one of Poachers mates?

I have a feeling, only a feeling mind, that your final observation might be the correct one. After all if you find an oasis in the desert wouldn’t you alert your mates….

Pardon my ignorance

County final tomorrow

Where would one watch it online?

Can you get commentary?

You can watch it online. The Leitrim GAA site. The fixture is there and you can pay the subscription and watch away. They’re on the site for a few months afterwords afaik. I’m in flitters here with the nerves….

I’ve just checked there - good to go - €20 gets you John Lynch on commentary ….

Cheers a chara.

And another 20 if you want to watch the minor final before it. That’s where we are getting the money to pay Poacher’s mate.

The village is heaving and optimism is rising by the pint…

There’s not an ounce of fear in our supporters as we face the undoubted king’s of Leitrim club football BSOH (21 senior titles)…
It’s a big ask of an electoral division (Fenagh ED) of 369 adults out of a census figure of 730 (2022 census).
All our lads with 1 exception would have gone to secondary school with our opponents, they’d have all done the nightclub scene in Freddy’s and parishioners would, without fail shop in the town.

They’ll invariably steam through the village tomorrow to Pairc SeĆ”n, it’s up to us to send them back up the hill with their tae in their mugs….

In an unprecedented visionary moment the parish soothsayer - The Prophet McGovern has declared ā€œIts coming back to its ancestral homeā€

The Senior Final trophy is the Dick Ellis Cup commonly called The Fenagh Cup.

The field where John now lives was always ā€˜the football field’ in the parish.

There were some epic battles in the same field back in the day. The 1st battle was to secure the best ā€˜dressing room’ which was the ditch with its back to the mountain. Your duds would get destroyed if there was a shower if you were togged on the village side….

How did we do it at all……
