After suffering their first defeat of the campaign Leitrim will look to bounce back this weekend at home to Limerick. Limerick will provide a tough test for Leitrim. The Treaty County are unbeaten in Division 4 and lie just one point behind Leitrim.

Eimear Smyth was once again in inspirational form as Fermanagh defeated Leitrim in the division’s top of the table clash. Smyth’s first half goal proved to be the difference as the Erne County moved to the top of the table. Carlow moved up to third in the table with a comprehensive win over bottom side Kilkenny.

Second place Fermanagh welcome leaders Leitrim to Donagh in the big game in Division 4 this weekend. Leitrim have a 100% record so far this year and have been clinical in front of the goals. Fermanagh will hope home advantage can help them claim the three points. Limerick lie just behind Fermanagh on score difference and they have a home game against Longford. It’s a fourth away game for the Midlanders who are looking for a second win in this division.

Leitrim were clinical as they made it three wins from three with a comprehensive win away to Derry. Eimear Smyth was excellent as Fermanagh saw off the challenge of Wicklow and move to second in the table behind Leitrim. 

After getting their first points on the board last weekend, Longford will hope to build on that but they are facing a Carlow side who will be buoyed up by their 14 point comeback against Fermanagh last weekend.

Leitrim will hope to make it three wins from three and maintain their 100% record when they travel to take on Derry. Derry still await their first points of the campaign

Performance of the weekend has to go to Carlow. They were down by 14 points at half-time against a good Fermanagh side in Fenagh. Cliodhna Ní She scored the equalising goal for them right at the end. Leitrim made it two wins from two with three points to spare over Wicklow in Ballinamore.

Leitrm got off to a winning start to Division 4 last weekend and will hope to record a second win when they entertain Wicklow in Ballinamore. The Garden County will provide a tough test for Johnny Garrity’s side. Carlow and Fermanagh both had opening day wins and they clash in Dunleer. With Eimear Smyth back Fermanagh will be in the hunt for silverware.

Leitrim, Fermanagh and Carlow all enjoyed wins on the opening day of Division 4 of the Lidl National Football League, elsewhere Limerick and Wicklow could not be separated in a closely fought affair in Feohanagh/Castlemahon.

Division 4 of the LIDL Ladies National Football League gets underway this afternoon, an early look for all parties to see how their teams have prepared in the off season for this 2024 league campaign.
