Poacher hands out four debuts as Leitrim name team to face Sligo in Connacht SFC

Leitrim manager Seán Poacher has named a squad featuring four players making their championship debuts ahead of the Senior Football Championship encounter with Sligo at Markievicz Park on Sunday, with throw-in scheduled for 3 pm.

The Connacht SFC fixture will see several fresh faces integrated into the side, with the manager selecting players who featured in the recent U20 contest against Mayo. A number of these younger performers have been included on the bench for Sunday's match, signalling the manager's willingness to blood new talent in competitive provincial football.

The selection reflects Leitrim's approach to squad development as they prepare for what will be a challenging away fixture against their Connacht rivals. The inclusion of multiple debutants suggests the management is confident in the emerging group of players available to them as they seek to make an impression in the championship.

Supporters will be keen to see how the new additions settle into the intensity of the provincial championship when the teams meet at Markievicz Park on Sunday afternoon.
