Leitrim’s victory in the 2024 TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Championship ensures a three-team TG4 Connacht Senior Championship this year.
Leitrim will be the underdogs against traditional big-hitters Mayo and Galway but they’re not without hope against a Mayo side relegated from Division 1 of the Lidl National League.
Leitrim will have been disappointed not to gain promotion and it will be interesting to note if there’s a major gulf between a team operating in the top flight and the bottom tier this year.
With home advantage, Mayo will still start as favourites for this one.
Mayo: J Gawalkiewicz; L Wallace, N O’Malley, C Durkin; D Caldwell, E Brennan, S El Massry; H Reape, S Lally; R Jordan, S Walsh, A McDonnell; E Murray, C Keane, A Devereux.
Leitrim: M Monaghan, M Murphy, C Tyrell, J Maye; S Reynolds, C Owens, R McIntyre; N Tighe, C Dolan; A Gilmartin, V Egan, A Clancy; L Fox, M Devaney, L O’Dowd.
