Despite the opening day Allianz National Football League defeat to Cavan in difficult weather conditions in Carrick on Shannon on Sunday afternoon the mood was positive after an impressive performance in the first league game of Andy Moran’s era. Breifne caught up with Andy immediately after the game for his thoughts and also spoke to new Leitrim captain David Bruen and his team mate David Bruen for their reaction to the game.

Leitrim Hurling captain Martin Feeney joins Breifne to discuss the hurler’s first competitive win over Mayo in four decades to lift the Connacht Shield a fortnight ago and the build up to their National Hurling League Division 3B campaign with the trip to the UK to face Lancashire on Sunday.

Leitrim Ladies Football manager Hugh Donnelly discusses the Connacht Intermediate Championship victory over Roscommon with Laura O’Down (2-1) and Michelle Guckian (0-5) leading the team to their first trophy in recent seasons. They prepare for their opening LIDL Ladies National Football League encounter with Fermanagh in just ten days.

Finally Breifne is joined by Eamonn Duignan to discuss the success of the second edition of the 50 Mile challenge speaking about where the idea came from, some of his personal highlights from the challenge and the people all over the island and globe both participated.
