LEITRIM forward Leah Fox was in
outstanding attacking form during the early
rounds of the 2024 Lidl National League
– with Leitrim sitting proudly starting the
Division 4 league with three wins from three
outings.
Leitrim, runners-up in Division 4 last
year, are firmly on course for promotion
to Division 3 and Leah's performances to
date have played a key role in her team's
progress.
Leah, 21, from the Glencar-
Manorhamilton club, scored two points
as Leitrim began their 2024 Lidl National
League season with victory over Kilkenny.
In Round 2, she was prominent again,
scoring two goals against Wicklow before

Derry.
Leah was presented with her January

Fermanagh completed their group phase
of the campaign unbeaten and with 19
points from a possible 21 on offer.

sights and 23-year-old Eimear, from the
Derrygonnelly Harps club, has been central
to their efforts.
During the month of February, free-
scoring Eimear collected 4-17 from just
three outings against Leitrim, Kilkenny and
