Allinaz Cumann na mBunscoil: Well done to St.Michael’s National school boys who won their Division 5 shield final against Gael Scoil Chluainin on Saturday last in Pairc Sean. St. Michaels’s girls, having given it their all, fell a little short on the day in the Division 4 final against Aughnasheelin.  Thank you to all who helped out or came out to support this great bunch of kids who were a credit to their school and community. A special word of thanks to Joe and Noel Cullen and Eilis McGourty for their tireless work with the underage players throughout the year.
Swan Bar Junior A League – Our Junior team lost by the slimmest of margins to table toppers St. Mary’s on Saturday evening in Glenfarne. It was a great evening for football and both teams served up an exciting and genuinely competitive match which was pretty much in the balance until the final whistle. We have no game this coming weekend.

Under 9 – Well done to our under 9 team who took part in the blitz tournament in Manorhamilton on Saturday morning, against Glencar Manor and Drumkeerin teams. It was a very well organised event with all the kids enjoying themselves and getting lots of game time. Well done to all concerned.
Swan Bar Division 3 – Our Junior A side suffered a heavy defeat away to a strong Ballinamore side on Saturday evening last in the league. Yes, we had a few players away on the day but we can have no complaints about the result. We never really got going and were second best from the start. We have no game this coming weekend.
Connacht Championship – Hard luck to the Leitrim senior team and management on their defeat to Roscommon on Sunday in Hyde Park. This comprehensive defeat was especially difficult to take from a Leitrim perspective following our great run in the league. However, we look forward now to the qualifiers and, hopefully, a favourable draw.

Junior A League – Our first outing in the league campaign proved to be something of a wake-up call resulting in a heavy defeat away to Allen Gaels on Saturday afternoon. We can make all the excuses we like, a gale force wind, injuries and absentees, the time of year etc. but in the end we were beaten by a much better side on the day. There’s only one way to go from here. We have no match this coming weekend.

Junior A Champions – After 27 long years, we have been finally crowned Junior A Champions once again last Saturday evening in Ballinamore. As always, it was a titanic battle against our neighbours Glencar/Manorhamilton but we eventually crossed the line and deservedly lifted the Dick Ellis Cup.

A huge congratulations and thank you to Joe Keaney, Dermot O’Rourke and Michael McGuire for all their hard work over the last year in guiding this team to the final. We appreciate the sacrifices you and your families have all made to make this success happen. To each player on the panel, we thank you for your commitment and determination in bringing success back to the club. After years of heart break and the loss of our beloved players, you have brought such joy and hope back to the parishes of Glenfarne and Kiltycogher. For that, we are forever in your debt. Commiserations to Glencar/Manorhamilton who were very gracious in defeat – we wish you every success in the future.

Thank you – The players, management and club committee would like to thank the huge number of supporters that travelled to Ballinamore on Saturday and to those who sent us many words of good luck and encouragement. Thanks to all the many clubs that supported us on the day and who also sent messages of support and congratulations. To those that stood out in the cold to cheer us on our trip home to the bonfires in Glenfarne, it was great to see such support and joyous scenes.
