An Interview with Oisin McConville

Armagh and Crossmaglen legend Oisin McConville was interviewed by John Lynch at a recent Leitrim GAA Coaching workshop.
The well-attended workshop delivered by McConville and held at the Leitrim GAA Centre of Excellence was based on the theme “Effective Forward Play and Decision making in front of goals”.

More referees please

In order for the GAA and its games to survive, we need to recruit new referees. This especially applies to clubs who have no referees and have had no referee in years. A special effort has to be made to unearth this rare species in these clubs. Some clubs in our county continue to supply the board with top class referees and we thank them sincerely for that while others pay lip service and simply do nothing but complain. The opportunity for each club to rectify this problem can be sorted by putting forward at least one suitable if not two suitable people for training on March 9th in the Bush Hotel at 8 o clock. Contact Sean at 0861267414 for any more details.
