This week it's all about opportunities with eight gaelic clubs looking to secure the opportunity to play in either the senior or intermediate football county final this year. Opportunity also for Manor Rangers to improve on their second place finish in the Sligo Leitrim Superleague last season while Dromahair FC will be just happy to have the opportunity to play as the league's new boys bring soccer to the town. We run through the fixtures of the weekend including the Leitrim GAA Championship Semi Finals at Senior (1:13) and Intermediate (2:46) level as well as county finals at Minor level (3:02).
