Club Championships – progress to date

Club Football

It was a very busy weekend in football circles in Leitrim as 15 competitive games were played and many surprises unfolded as championship dreams and relegation nightmares became clearer.

In the blue ribbon event, the Senior championship, 3 teams made it to the semifinals: Glencar/Manorhamilton, Kiltubrid and Bornacoola. Reigning champions St. Marys did not have it all their own way on Saturday evening against Sean OHeslins and both teams have it all to do again in the replay next weekend.

Staying with the Senior section the relegation battle worsened for Allen Gaels and Aughawillan as they fell to Drumreilly and Mohill respectively.

In the Intermediate championship Gortletteragh, Drumkeerin, Aughnasheelin and Dromahaire all booked their places into the semi-finals in 2 weeks time. While Ballinaglera know that the have it all to do to avoid relegation as they await the outcome of this weekends relegation semifinal between Annaduff and Aughavas.

The Junior A group stages are finished as the quarter final places were decided and its Bornacoola v Gortletteragh, Mohill v Melvin Gaels, Eslin v Leitrim Gaels, St Marys v Allen Gaels. The relegation semi-final pairings are also known as Aughavas meet Sean O Heslins and Carrigallen play Drumkeerin.

There were no Junior B games last weekend but 4 round 2 games are scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday.

The Junior C draw was made at the CCC meeting last night and the fixtures will be available on the website shortly. This competition commences on Saturday evening.

Intermediate Championship – Round 3 – Status

Club Football

Two Intermediate games came a cropper last weekend due to the bad weather while group 1 finished all their games. Hopefully on Sunday evening all places will be decided in the quarters and relegation will be facing some teams as we look at the status of the groups:

Group 1

Status: This group is complete as Dromahaire are through to the quarters and in last weekends game Aughnasheelin decided the second place with a convincing win over Annaduff who now head for the relegation playoffs.

Group 2

Final Game: Aughavas v St Marys

Status: This group is very close, St. Marys can top the group this weekend but if Aughavas win then itll be down to score difference to decide the placings. Glencar/Manor must sit back and await the result although their +4 score difference will probably stand to them.

Group 3

Final Game: Drumkeeran v Ballinaglera (rescheduled)

Status: Cloone are in the quarters and Drumkeerin are nearly there in that they need a draw or better to go through. Ballinaglera on the other hand need to win outright as they need all the points to better Drumkeerins 1 point.

Group 4

Final Game: Gortletteragh v Fenagh St. Caillins (rescheduled)

Status: This group is almost decided upon as Gortletteragh and Fenagh are guaranteed a place what remains to be seen is in which order they come out of the group. A draw and Gortletteragh will go through as table toppers due to score difference. Glenfarne/ Kiltyclougher await the relegation playoff.

Senior Champ Groups – Round 3 – Update

Club Football

Seven out of eight have guaranteed their place in the quarter-finals. The last round of the group stages is complete bar one last game inÓgroup 2 between Kiltubrid and Allen Gaels which will decide the 2nd position in the group and more importantly the 8th place in the quarters. The score difference criteria could apply to this game to decide the placings.

Group 1

Status:
Annaduff got to the Quarters on full points. Carrigallen are in 2nd placing, Annaduff must await the outcome of Allen Gaels v Kiltubrid. Carrigallen will face Group 1 winners Glencar Manorhamilton in two weeks time.
Drumreilly in relegation semifinal with Allen Gaels or Kiltubrid

Group 2

Final Game: Allen Gaels v Kiltubrid

Status:
Glencar Manorhamilton are through on full points and meet Carrigallen who are the Group 1 runner up. In teh postponed game we have a local derby as both teams fight for the last place. Kiltubrid have the better score difference so a draw is the minimum result needed. Allen Gaels know that a draw wont be enough and they no doubt will draw inspiration from the game in Cloone as they will look to emulate Sean OHeslins. It will be a frustrating week for both camps as they try to get themselves up for the game after having to lay down tools last Saturday afternoon.

Group 3

Status:
Melvin Gaels are in the Quarter finals with 3 points and meet Bornacoola. score difference didnt apply in this group as Sean OHeslins needed full points while a draw was the minimum for Mohill. Sean OHeslins were fully deserving of their win in a game that saw them put it up to Mohill from the start and surprisingly Mohill were slow to respond. The Mohill goal came in the last few minutes of the game but OHeslins held out. Sean OHeslins to meet Group 4 winners St Marys while Mohill to face Aughawillan in the relegation semifinal.

Group 4

Status:
St. Marys win means that they have full points and will play Sean O Heslins in the quarters. St Marys win also decided the fate of Borncoola as the defeat of Aughawillan ensured their place in the quarters against Group 3 winners Melvin Gaels. Aughawillan will face Mohill in the relegation semifinal.

Summary:

Facing Relegation semifinal –
Drumreilly v Allen Gaels or Kiltubrid
Mohill v Aughawillan.

Quarters –
Group 1 Winners – Annaduff
v Grp 2 Runners Up – Kiltubrid or Allen Gaels

Group 2 Winners – Glencar / Manorhamilton
v Grp 1 Runners Up – Carrigallen

Group 3 Winners – Melvin Gaels
v Grp 4 Runners Up – Bornacoola

Group 4 Winners – St Marys
v Grp 3 Runners Up – Sean O Heslins

Three of the Intermediate quarter final places are already known as we head in to the final round of the group stages inÓgroups 1, 3 while group 2 are at round 2 stage and group 4 placings to be confirmed. This weekend should see two more places confirmed while the remaining two places will be decided 1 week later. Relegation is also facing some teams as we look at the status of the groups:

Final Game: Annaduff v Aughnasheelin

Status: with Dromahaire through to the quarters its between Annaduff v Aughnasheelin to decide on the runner up spot. Both teams had close teams against Dromahire and Aughnasheelin just lost by the smallest margins. As a result they have the better score difference of -1 compared to Annaduffs -3. A draw in this game and Aughnasheelin will go through with the better score difference and Annaduff head for the relegation playoffs.

Group 2

Next Game: Aughavas v Glencar/Manorhamilton

Status: This group are a game behind the other 3 but with St. Marys win last weekend over Glencar/Manor the pressure is on Manor to survive this weekend as a loss will rule them out. score difference will apply if Manor win this weekend and Aughavas beat St Marys next week, Manor will need to be aware of this.

Group 3

Final Game: Drumkeeran v Ballinaglera

Group 4

Final Game: Gortletteragh v Fenagh St. Caillins

Club Championship Season opens

Club Football

Weve 9 uninterrupted intense weeks starting this evening in the 2008 Intermediate and Senior Championship. The intermediates – commence at 7pm in Leitrim Gaels (Gortletteragh v Glenfarne /Kilty) but 1 hour earlier at 6 pm this evening in Cloone and Paric Sean the Senior season opens.

The format is the same as last year with the group stages being played over the next 3 weekends, then Qtr final stage, semifinals , ending with the Final which is scheduled for Sept 28th.

The big question in the Seniors is whether St. Marys can do a back to back title. Its a while since this has happened especially in light of the fact that the title has changed hands over the last number of years .

St. Marys had a great year last year when they won the Dick Ellis Senior Championship cup along with the League Title. Their league performance this year has been poor but they appear to be coming good at the right time in recent weeks.

In Cloone and Páirc Seán at 6pm Senior teams inÓgroups 1 and 3 face each other as Drumreilly meet Annaduff and Mohill meet Melvin Gaels.

At 7pm in Leitrim Gaels the Intermediate championship opens with Gortletteragh playing Glenfarne/Kiltyclougher.

Back to Cloone and Páirc Seán for 7:30pm as Aughawillan v Bornacoola and Allen Gaels v Glencar Manor inÓgroups 2 and 4 take the field in the Senior competiton.

Its all Intermediate action tomorrow in Páirc Seán at 5:30pm when Ballinaglera take on Cloone and at 7pm Annaduff meet Dromahaire.
