Stephen McDonnell of Armagh fan organised a tournament a few years ago here in the north. Not sure if it still continues, but it's a good starting point for your friend.

Fella on RTE news on Tuesday night in Leitrim somewhere (Manorhamilton I think). Very athletic black fella who's on the county under-16 development squad. Think the story was he's being deported but can't recall his name.

We once had a Queenslander from Ipswich (outside Brisbane) who lined out at full forward for our Reserves a couple of times.

I think the movers and shakers in Leitrim will do whatever it takes to hang onto him!
