Hurling Training Sessions.
Kevin Brisco will conduct training sessions with each of the hurling clubs, commencing this week. Kevin will be calling on clubs every two weeks and will work with all age groups. We have also organised hurling only, training camps, for the month of August and clubs should ensure that all of their young hurlers attend these camps.

A hurling club blitz at under 14 level will take place in Ballinamore on Saturday next. Blitz will commence at 11am and clubs are asked to be ready to start on time. This is the first of our hurling blitz and we will be running blitz at both under 12 and 16 over the course of the summer.
Transition year course
This course piloted last year in Mayo, and introduced to all Connacht counties this year has proved a great success with the three Leitrim schools, St. Clare’s PPS Manorhamilton, Drumkeerin Vocational school and the Marian College Mohill, who run a transition year programme. Well done to all who took part and to the Transition year coordinators in each school for all your help.

All clubs will be contacted this week with a request to forward the names of players who they feel are up to the standard for this squad. Clubs will be asked to limit the number of names submitted to a maximum of three.
