What do Leitrim bring to the table?
Truth be told, it’s hard to point out a single positive from Saturday’s opponents. They suffered the ignominy of not fielding for a League game against Fermnagh as they were relegated to the basement of League football without so much as a whimper.
Paul Honeyman and Tom Prior are their joint-top scorers in 2025, but the fact they couldn’t even get to double figures in points is telling.
They’ll be looking to turn the tide when the Green and Red come to town, but don’t put your house on it.
Who is refereeing the game?
Fermanagh man Niall Cullen will be making the jaunt from Belleek to Carrick-On-Shannon for this one. The Erne Gaels clubman and native of Ballyshannon, County Donegal, has been in the middle for many games, including the 2022 All-Ireland minor final between Galway and Mayo.
