Mulligan reveals huge gap between Leitrim and Dublin football
Leitrim are gearing up for a Connacht semi-final with underdogs London this weekend and few in their side will have better preparation than captain Emlyn Mulligan.
Leitrim’s main attacking weapon is reaping the benefits of transferring to St. Brigids from his home club Melvin Gaels and while he sympathises for the clubs in Leitrim losing players, but he has felt a noticeable difference.

“We're confident enough in our own ability and confident enough that we can get a win.”Hundreds arrested in Paris Champions League celebrations
