Leinster - the most negative provincial championship?

Well, after Laois, Kildare, Wicklow and Longford managed a pathetic 36 points between them today, might be best to exclude Leinster as well Jayo!

Leinster, while low on all-irelands, has been cited in recent years as the province where you get open, high-scoring games, but today was every bit as bad as we saw last weekend from Donegal & Antrim. Is it down to the influx of Ulster managers, or is it an attempt from these managers to imitate the success Pat Gilroy had last year with the blanket defence. Either way, it looks like we are headed for a year of low-scoring, low-excitement games.

Oh My God

As per usual the only decent game of FOOTBALL played yesterday was in the Connacht Championship. Well done to Leitrim and Silgeach serving it up to the 'also ran' provinces

Hopefully last night's excellent game between Armagh and Down, served up in difficult conditions, acts as an inspiration to some of the managers in Leinster.

The Wexicans put in a big performance tonight along with a big score of 1-24,,That is some return in any game of football

Leinster is a live and well with high scoring games..

And a Carlow win tomorrow with liven up the province.

Ceatharlach Abú!
