Congratulations to the Leitrim minors who had their first
win of this year’€’s Connacht Minor League last Saturday evening in Pairc Sean
beating Mayo with a score of 3-08 to
Mayo’€’s 1-09. Not many would have tipped Leitrim to beat Mayo after their first
three outings but this looked like a much stronger team, more determined and they
proved to be too good for Mayo.
Mayo got off to a great start with a goal in the first 20
seconds of the throw-in which looked ominous for Leitrim and I’€’m sure Leitrim
supporters feared the worst but with less than a minute gone Leitrim levelled
with Mayo with a super goal from Niall Brady. The goal helped settle the nerves
they began to bring the game to Mayo. Leitrim’€’s Jack DeLacy got the first point
of the game with a build up move involving Nicholas Moore, Mark McGrory, James
Rooney and Padraig Gallagher. In the seventh minute Mayo levelled the game with
a point by Shane Hennelly and that was followed by an Adam Gallagher point
which put Mayo ahead. Drumkerrin’€’s Felim McHugh pointed to level the game after
tenacious play from Mark McGrory in regaining possession.
Referee TJ Keaveney was perfectly placed to see an off the
ball incident and Mayo was reduced to 14 players when Cian Burke was issued
with a straight red card for an off the ball foul on James Rooney. Leitrim went
on to score a further three points by Niall Brady, Donal Wrynn (free) and
Nicholas Moore. Mayo’€’s Stephen Conroy replied with a point which was quickly
cancelled out by a Padraig Gallagher free after a foul on James Rooney. Just
before half time Mayo reduced Leitrim’€’s lead by getting two points from Eoghan Lavin (free) and Brian Mullin which left the score at half-time Leitrim (1-6) Mayo (1-5).
Within six minutes of the 2nd half Mayo went into
the lead with points from Shane Hennelly and Stephen Coen but Leitrim’€’s Niall
Brady levelled the game with a great point. Patrick Durcan’€’s point for Mayo put
them ahead again and at this stage it seemed that Mayo was getting control of the game and were playing better football.
Leitrim’€’s Aaron McLoughlin who had just come on scored a fantastic goal from a
pass by Niall Brady and shortly afterwards Aaron came close to Scóring his
second goal but his shot was cleared off the line by the alert Patrick Durcan
who was having a good game and both ends of the pitch. StephenÓgilheaney
converted a free for Leitrim but that was cancelled out by a Patrick Durcan
point. With just 4 minutes to go Leitrim secured a win when James Rooney
delivered an unstoppable shot past Mayo’€’s goalkeeper giving Leitrim their 3rd
goal and ensuring a victory over Mayo.

 Leitrim 1-04        Roscommon 0-15Â
Leitrim minors were outclassed by a very strong Roscommon team in Pairc Sean MacDirarmada last Saturday evening. Leitrim got the first point of the game by StephenÓgilheaney who took the point well after good work from Niall Brady on nine minutes, but unfortunately we did not see Leitrim score again until 15 minutes into the second half but by then Roscommon had taken control of the game and had scored ten points. At half time Roscommon had a seven point lead but it could have been more but for Brendan Flynn, Leitrim’s keeper you had a very strong game and pulled of some great saves.
In the second half Leitrim scored a lovely goal by Felim McHugh after a long ball by Nicholas Moore and Niall Brady who had a good game scored three points but the game was very one sided as Roscommon scored a futher seven points in the second half. Roscommon had an impressive win and the final score was Leitrim 1-04, Roscommon 0-15.
It’s going to be hard for Manager Mark Heslin and his team to dust them down and get them ready for next Saturdays game against Longford but this is a young team with very good players and if they start believing in themselves we will have every chance of winning next Saturday.                  Â
