The preparations are almost complete and the Leitrim Senior Footballers are now only days away from their opening Connacht SFC match for 2015 as they host Galway in Páirc Sean Mac Diaramda on Sunday next with a 3.30pm throw in. The curtain raiser is the Connacht JF Final which sees Galway take on Mayo with a 1.30pm throw in. 

The Leitrim squad has worked extremely hard all spring, under the direction of Shane Ward and his Management Team, to be in the best possible shape for this encounter and we are sure that the players will leave all their energies on the field of play as they make a valiant effort to qualify for the Connacht SFC Semi Final versus Mayo in June.

We wish the players and management all the best in their efforts and encourage as many supporters as possible to come out and roar the team to victory!!
