Keith Beirne: All-Ireland football the target for ambitious Leitrim via IrishTimesSport
Beat New York this Saturday, then overcome Sligo or London – two more Division Four teams – and they’ll be through to a first provincial final since 2000. Moreover, they’ll have given Tailteann Cup football the slip.“I know they are coming from a different background, they were Division One in 2015. But they fell down and they rose back up again. We could compete with Derry [in 2020] and we can compete, we know we can be there.
Four wins in the league took them to the brink of promotion. Normally, that would have represented the high point of Leitrim’s season, but the championship draw has opened up fresh possibilities. To make it happen, they must beat New York on Saturday for starters. Five years ago, Leitrim escaped the Bronx with a one-point extra-time win.
“We finished the league at the end of March and weren’t playing until May 6th that year,” said Beirne of 2018.
