Please note extra time will take place in both fixtures if necessary
GAA Football All Ireland Championship Round 4 Qualifier
Donegal v Laois @ 5pm
Spectator comfort at the very popular Páirc Mac Diarmada venue has beenÓgreatly enhanced in recent times. A particularly important innovation has been the installation of a lift to the upper tiers of the McGovern Stand, which will be of immense benefit to wheelchair users and to others in need of such a facility. The stand itself has been the subject of much praise since its official opening. Spectators will be pleased with the easier access to the grounds through the recent installation of a number of extra turnstiles and also will enjoy more comfortable viewing from the terraces as a result of control barriers having been put in place. Throughout the grounds the toilet facilities have been improved, with a new toilet block just completed, all to add to spectator comfort. Refreshments are readily available at each corner of the grounds at Snack Shops operated by the local St. Mary’s Club members. Few grounds can boast of parking facilities to match Carrick on Shannon, including the front car park itself and the surrounding parking areas, while traffic flow to and from games is enabled greatly by the magnificent road system and by the co-operation of An Garda Síochana.
Due to its geographical location, Páirc Mac Diarmada is ideally situated for Qualifier and other games and the ever-improving facilities will be welcomed by GAA fans from around the country.
Leitrim GAA look forward to welcoming the teams and supporters from Clare, Donegal, Kildare, Laois and Westmeath this weekend.
NOTHING WILL BEAT BEING IN PÁIRC SEÁN THIS SATURDAY!

A whole new ball game
The recession has taught us a lot. We now realise that the days of lashing money on extravagances are but a distant memory. We want value for money and we have come to appreciate the simpler, more basic things in life.
In Winter and early Spring it might be the local drama or musical society or concert, a great night out for a tenner or a little more.
Summer brings thoughts of the football championship, when local is the buzz word again. We all want our own team to do well, to win the county title, irrespective of grade. We want to be there when the local lads take the field, to cheer on our own heroes.
It all starts in Leitrim this weekend, the Connacht Gold Senior, the Glenfarne Wood Products Intermediate and the Pyramid Bookmakers Junior. So the excitement is building in every corner of the county and even the weather-man is on our side, promising a good week to have all the pitches ready for action.
Last year is history. The Championship Cups have been handed back and are up for grabs to every competing club. It is all to play for now. In the run up to Saturday and Sunday the County Board officers and committees will be taking care of all the logistics; the players will be stretching, lapping, hand-passing, soloing and shooting; the team Managers and selectors will be plotting, planning and playing mind games; the Leitrim Observer, Shannonside and Ocean will be interviewing and forecasting; the kids will be begging Mammy and Daddy to get them a new club jersey.
What about the supporters? They will be as busy as anyone, talking up their own team to the opposition and relishing the local derbies and slagging their neighbours. Come Saturday and Sunday they will be delighted to part with the still very reasonable admission fees that won’t break the bank. The few Euro won’t be an issue when your own lads trot out on the pitch.
As the All Ireland Championship slogan says:-
Nothing beats being there
