Mulligan looks forward to brighter days if players can be kept at home

Leitrim have vowed to move on from the team that emigrated and focus on the future.

Without 22 members of their 2010 squad, another season in the doldrums looked likely for Leitrim, but under the steadying influence of Barney Breen and George Dugdale they have unearthed a solid base to work from.

The hope all around now is that they can hold on to the bones of this year’s squad for 2013, according to their play-maker Emlyn Mulligan.
