Pressure weekend for 8 teams as the last 4 in the Seniors and the Intermediates get down to the nitty gritty of the semi finals.  Relegation looms for Intermediates Ballinaglera or Eslin in their playoff which is tomorrow evening at 7pm. 

Intermediates:

Tomorrow evenings clash in the Intermediates between Aughnasheelin and Aughavas will be a mouth watering opening to the semis.  Aughnasheelin are the surprise package in this competition with a big improvement this year compared to recent years.  Aughavas are playing well at the moment and will have their hands full to contain this Aughnasheelin team,  their experienced heads will be called on if they are to make it to the finals.

On Sunday evening its the favourites Drumreilly meeting St. Marys in another exciting enounter.  The second string St. Marys team will be looking to upset the apple cart in this encounter that should draw a good crowd.

Seniors:

The first Senior semi clash is tomorrow evening between St. Marys and Carrigallen.  Carrigallen have made a big impact on this years championship with their win over Melvin Gaels and are now in the position of underdogs as they take on the experienced St. Marys.  St. Marys will be eager to go all the way this year and they will be calling on their county players to make a big impact to curtail the pacey Carrigallen squad.

The final semifinal of the weekend is the meeting of Kiltubrid and Bornacoola.  This game will bring back memories of the final in 2005 for both teams when Kiltubrid ran out clear winners but its a new year and Bornacoola are the only team who to not lost a game to-date in this Championship.  Midfield will have a bearing on this game as the County partnership for Bornacoola will be testing opposition for Kiltubrid. 

Junior A has only one fixture which is the Quarterfinal replay of Mohill and St. Marys  this game ended in a draw last weekend and the semis are expected to be played next weekend.

Junior B is now at Round 4 this weekend with 1 more round to go and Junior C has moved on to round two after the opening round last weekend.  Both championships have 4 games each this weekend.

Best of luck to all teams participating this weekend.

Another busy weekend with the Seniors, Intermediates and the opening round of the Junior A championships all on the go.

Senior Championship
The Senior section is starting to hot up as 2 teams are now sure of their place in the Quarter finals. InÓgroup 2 Annaduff had a 5 point win over St. Caillins and as they top their group they await the outcome of Group 1 which is undecided with the result of the remaining game between Bornacoola and Allen Gaels crucial to all 3 teams.

The other Quarter finalists are Group 4s Melvin Gaels who topped their table on Saturday evening with their tally of 2 wins. They also await the outcome of Group 3 which is similar to Group 1 with the final game deciding if there will be a clear top and runner-up or if playoffs are required.

Its interesting to note that the teams (Allen Gaels, Fenagh/St. Caillins, Aughawillan and Kiltubrid) that did not play in the first round and who played their first game over the weekend all lost their opening game. Their opposition appeared to benefit by having a game under their belt.

Intermediate Championship
In the Intermediate Championship the picture is very similar to the Senior competition. Group 1s Gortletteragh are through on 2 wins out of 2 and inÓgroup 3 Drumkeerin are also guaranteed a place in the quarters as they have a win and a draw. This Sunday games inÓgroup 1 – Cloone v Eslin and inÓgroup 3 – Glencar/Manor v Glenfarne/Kilty will decide the second placing and relegation playoff positions.

InÓgroup 2 and 4 both Dromahaire and Ballinalgera are out of contention as Drumreilly v Aughnasheelin and Aughavas v St. Marys who play this weekend will decide Top and Runner-up.

Junior A Championship
The Junior A round 1 opened yesterday with Carrigallen, Annaduff, Allen Gaels and Mohill all starting their campaign on the right note with wins.

Next weekend Gortletteragh, Drumkeerin, Bornacoola and Aughavas get to take the field in their first game.

Meanwhile Aughawillan, St. Marys and Sean O Heslins, all of whom have lost their openers, must win in order to stay in the competition and Melvin Gaels have an extra week to prepare for their final game.

The Senior and Intermediate championship for 2007 opened at the weekend as each of the 4 groups within the respective competitions played off their round 1 fixtures.

The Seniors opening game was held on Friday night and was the mouth watering clash between the 2006 Senior and Intermediate champions. The game was held in Cloone and was the first ever Club Championship game in Leitrim to be held on a Friday which shows the flexibility that Clubs are willing to offer competitions in this modern era of football.

Mohill started the game well and racked up early scores but as Carrigallen eased into the game they took control and won out worthy winners by 3 points in an entertaining and high Scóring encounter which was noted for its free flowing style of football.

Double headers in Cloone and Pairc Sean on Saturday evening made for a busy evening as the remaining 3 groups in the Seniors and the first of the Intermediate games were played.

In Cloone, Sean O Heslins were beaten by 2 points by Annaduff in the Group 2 encounter. The second fixture for the evening was Bornacoola v St. Marys inÓgroup 1 and this result saw St. Marys plans take a set back as Bornacoola won by a goal. Both Annaduff and Bornacoola are setting out their stalls at an early stage.

In Pairc Sean the first Championship games in front of the new stand unfolded as opener of the Intermediate competition saw Aughnasheelin pip Dromahaire by 1 point in a close game, this incidently is Aughnasheelins first championship win in 4 years.

The Senior game followed and was a northern encounter with Glencar-Manorhamilton meeting Melvin Gaels. While its said the goals win championships it was not the case for Glencar Manor who failed to reel in Melvin Gaels who led through most of the game. Melvin Gaels hung on in a tense finish and won by the smallest of margins.

Sunday afternoon and the 3 remaining games of the Intermediate competition were played out. With a 2pm throw-in in Paric Sean, Aughavas won out easy winners over Ballinaglera by 7 points. The second fixture there saw Gortletteragh with a lot of possession and many wides overcome the challenge of Cloone with just 1 kick of the ball between them in the end as they won on a scoreline of Cloone 1-03 Gortletteragh 0-09.

The final game of the weekend saw Drunkeerin run out easy winners as they registered a large score of 3-21 over Glencar Manorhamiltons second team who scored 1-04 in Drumshanbo.

Next weekend its round two of the Senior and Intermediate championships and the opening round of the Junior A competition.
