Spillane admitted that he had some sympathy for Leitrim’s predicament as they faced Sligo just eight days after losing heavily to Laois in the Division Four final.
Pat Spillane will play no part in the remainder of Sligo’s Connacht Championship campaign, the player has revealed.
Having failed to emerge from Division Three this year, which competition Sligo compete in this summer depends on how they fare in Saturday week’s provincial semi-final against Galway at Markievicz Park.“Thankfully I'm near the end of the recovery now and I should hopefully be back for the group stages,” said Spillane. “Nearly there.”
"Absolutely. It's tough going and it's a big ask on the players. Westmeath also had a similar challenge. It's tough going to try and keep lads fresh, particularly with the travel as well. He added: “I think the three-game blocks especially are probably what are causing teams the most struggle.
