Replying To overthebar45: "Fair play to you, been a long time since I was playing in county trials as a teenager but I don't recall many players making a county minor panel with another year left underage. The fact you're an active underage county player and engaging in this forum shows that you care about the jersey you wear so I wish you well. I will say, be careful not to accidentally identify yourself, you never know who's browsing these pages" The connacht and AI junior inter county competition used to be a great fringe players/ lads who could not commit to senior panel competition till they made in a tinpot cup for overseas teams and Kilkenny, a pity as we used to be competitive gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 607 - 30/03/2025 04:15:39 2599384 Link

I don't know why they gutted it. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1157 - 30/03/2025 15:38:02 2599470 Link
Replying To LeitrimLad13: "Having been on the Leitrim U17 panel for the last two years, I've seen firsthand the challenges young players face in trying to develop at county level. While strength and conditioning is often pointed to as a key area for improvement, I don't think that's the biggest issue. The real problem is the lack of game time for the majority of players on the panel. For many lads, being part of a county setup is a huge commitment, but if you're not getting any meaningful minutes in games, it's hard to develop or even stay motivated. The gap between training and actual match experience at a higher level is massive, and without game time, players miss out on the opportunity to apply what they're learning in a real competitive setting. There needs to be more developmental leagues or structured challenge games specifically for panel members who aren't seeing any bit of grass throughout the championship. This would not only keep lads interested in county football but also give them the chance to improve as players, making the squad as a whole stronger in the long run. Too many talented young footballers are slipping away because they don't feel they're progressing. A proper system for non-starting players to get game time would go a long way toward fixing that." Every county has the same problem that you just mentioned. If you are not playing regular football either as starting or coming on as a sub fairly often you are going no place. I don't know what the solution is. Players want to play on the first team. They have no interest in playing on a county junior team. The reason it was scrapped was because of lack of interest. It's very difficult to organize development games when the cream of the team are away with the first team. College football is great but not all players go to college. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2054 - 30/03/2025 18:49:15 2599519 Link

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "That wintered well. Ah "Poor Auld Leitrin". Don't know when they have it good." Well done on winning a meaningless league title chief. Mind you always good to see Roscommon beaten handsomely so at least you have that going for you. But that's enough head pats for you today. Don't want the ego inflating too much. boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 193 - 31/03/2025 10:46:12 2599629 Link

Well done to Andy Moran too.He has their forwards flying. We had a few contributors on here during his tenure looking for his head and saying he didn't know what he was doing!!!!!!!! Enough said, let's move on .Despite the gloom I think we have the nucleus of a good young team emerging. Let's all pull together. joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 541 - 01/04/2025 12:36:23 2599919 Link

What's ignorant about questioning someone gloating on a different county's thread? Get off the soap box.

I could probably coach a few Monaghan forwards and that's not saying much. Moran brought us the 2nd lowest point in our footballing history, our current man the lowest so away with the fan club nonsense Joe.
