‘Great to win but league is our focus’

Leitrim 2-05 Roscommon 1-07

It is rare to see a captain accepting a cup and saying the league is what matters, but there could be no denying this joust between neighbours, who are due to meet in the Connacht championship in 16 weeks’ time, was merely a warm-up for the start of the league.

Leitrim, who yesterday retained a title for the first time in their history having claimed their maiden FBD League crown 12 months ago, want to bring that success into their promotion drive from Division 4 this time.
