Fair play to Kilkenny, many give off about the effort they put into Football, no different than Letrim to both codes and Donegal/Cavan/Monaghan/Slgo to hurling

A bit unfair on leitrim whom have a tiny population with a big emigration they are a football county with huge passion but are fighting a unfair balance

for me there Connacht title in 1994 was one of greatest GAA achievements i've seen.

Will not talk about Roscommon's hurling then?

Again where mainly a football county only really 2 towns in Roscommon that play hurling. you can't be serious that leitrim don't put effort into football?

I can, with only two wins in over a 110 years last being 1994 and before that 1927, are you being serious?? even Antrim have won ten Ulster championships. Albeit in the 50's

Population of Leitrim - 28,950
Population of Antrim - 616,384

Adjust for religon if you wish but Leitrim have 5% of Antrim's population yet 20% of their total of provincial titles.

Your comparing leitrim committed to football with Kilkenny. leitrim a team that always push us all the way & the also gave Dublin,Galway & Mayo etc a few scares in the recent meetings

Kilkenny on the other hand will be delighted to come out of london with 8/9 defeat

You need to spent a weekend in Ballinamore,Mohill or Cloone & see what real blood sweat & tears is like without reward.

A totally uninformed and ignorant comment about Leitrim, if other counties had the passion and drive of Leitrim GAA people the organisation would be the better for it. The comment is a cheap shot at a proud county which will always struggle with a below the critical mass population. If Antrim had anywhere near the participation rate of Leitrim they would be thriving.

Why use Leitrim? Fermanagh don't have any provincial titles. They must take their football even less seriously than Leitrim!

And do Antrim's titles show that they haven't taken football seriously since the 50s?

Excellent post even the late great Philly McGuinness would give it the stamp of approval.

13 down at half time against London...this does not bode well for the rest of Kilkenny's league games.
