2024 Leitrim GAA Senior Football Team Sponsor Announcement

Leitrim GAA is delighted to announce its new Senior Football Team Main Sponsor for 2024 with the news that Aughnasheelin native Pat Gallagher of the Gallagher Group, a construction company based in Kent, England, has agreed to come on board as the main team sponsor for the next three years.
Pat Gallagher was born and raised in Aughnacullion, Aughnasheelin, Country Leitrim where his family had earned their living by running a country shop and small family farm. In 1966 the family made the huge decision to emigrate to England. At that stage, Pat had completed his secondary education. From his father and grandfather, he would have gained valuable experience, especially with construction and machinery, and also a great work ethic, which would stand him well in later years. Pat was ambitious and it was his singular ambition to eventually own his own business. Through hard work and an enterprising nature commencing with the purchase of a second-hand digger in 1973, he eventually got small contracts in construction, and from this humble beginning a business was born.  The enterprise has gone from strength to strength over the decades and Pat is currently Chairman of the Gallagher Group which is one of the largest and most recognisable family-run businesses in Kent, employing over 500 local people. Starting out, Pat’s ambition was to offer an unrivalled service to his clients, which still holds true to this day, but it wouldn’t be possible without the incredible people that make the group what it is.
Leitrim GAA is most fortunate to have the backing of Pat Gallagher and the Gallagher Group, and looks forward to a successful partnership over the next three years. In conclusion, we wish to also thank our outgoing main senior football team sponsors Seamus and Caitríona Clarke of JP Clarke, New York, for their generosity and loyalty to Leitrim GAA over the past five years.
The Gallagher Group has posted the following response to the Leitrim GAA announcement:

“The Gallagher Group based in Kent England are delighted to partner with the Leitrim GAA Senior football team as the main sponsors from October 2023. The sponsorship is for the next 3 years. We wish Andy, the players and the whole backroom staff our very best wishes for the season ahead, and are sure they will build on their progress over the last few years.

As a proud Leitrim native Pat Gallagher is excited for the future getting behind the team. The Gallagher Group is celebrating 50 years in business during 2023, a leading groundworks, civil engineering and aggregates business based in Kent England with family and community always at the heart of our business. The GAA has a unique way of bringing their communities together in rural Ireland and that is why we are so enthusiastic to get on board and help to drive the Leitrim team forward.”

The official launch of the Gallagher Group sponsorship will take place on Friday evening, October 27th in Lough Rynn Castle at 7pm and all clubs are invited to send representatives.

LEITRIM MAINTAIN UNBEATEN RECORD IN FR. MANNING CUP

LEITRIM MAINTAIN UNBEATEN RECORD IN FR. MANNING CUP

LEITRIM 3-13  SLIGO 2-16
Leitrim Under 16s maintained their unbeaten record in the 2023 Fr. Manning Cup with a hard fought draw against neighbours Sligo at Pairc Sean MacDiarmada earlier today.   In what turned out to be a high scoring encounter, Leitrim started the brighter of the 2 teams.   Joey McBrien (2), Oisin Conlon (2) and Ruairi O’Rourke had five Leitrim points on the scoreboard in answer to three from the Yeats County after 15 minutes.   Leitrim then put together a fast flowing move that culminated with Andrew Lee blasting the ball past the helpless Sligo goalkeeper to give Leitrim a five point cushion.
Sligo were then awarded a penalty which struck the butt of the Leitrim post before they hit a purple patch adding 2-2 without reply over the next five minutes. Josh Sheridan, the Leitrim netminder, was particularly unlucky with the 2nd effort, having initially made a wonderful save before the rebound was dispatched. Joey McBrien added to Leitrim’s tally with a solitary Sligo reply as they entered the final moments of the first half. The last action of the half turned out to be vital for Leitrim as Ruairi O’Rourke pounced on a loose ball and dispatched the ball to the net to leave the minimum between the sides with Sligo leading 2-7 to 2-6 at half time.
The 2nd half was a real topsy-turvy affair with Leitrim regaining the lead through early Senan Bohan and Cormac Moran points. Sligo responded with 3 points of their own to restore a 2 point advantage. Over the next 10 minutes Leitrim added points from Joey McBrien (2) and Peter Moran in reply to 4 efforts from Sligo. With time running out Leitrim continued to press and they will rue some costly misses but Joey McBrien reduced the gap before Sligo restored their 3 point lead. Peter Moran then showed some neat footwork as he danced his past 3 Sligo defenders and slotted the ball past the Sligo goalkeeper to set up a grandstand finish.
Sligo went back into the lead before Joey McBrien responded for Leitrim. The game ended with the home team pressing for a winner but ultimately coming up short as 3 chances went a begging. This was a good performance from an Under 16 squad minus a number of players that were on duty with the Under 17s the previous evening. They will be especially happy with their battling qualities as they fought to the bitter end for loose ball which was the foundation for getting back into the game. This result leaves Leitrim sitting unbeaten with 3 points on top of the table from 2 games played. Leitrim’s final game of the group stages is away to Longford at the end of May.
LEITRIM: Josh Sheridan; Kevin Faughnan; Killian Mulvey; James Hughes; Peter Moran (1-1); Luke Farrell; Cormac Moran (0-1); Luke Fitzsimons; Tadhg Regan; Senan Bohan (0-1); Ruairi O’Rourke (1-2); Gavin Gallagher; Oisin Conlon (0-2); Andrew Lee (1-0); Joey McBrien (0-6). Subs: Bobby Hanrahan, Cillian Downes, Aodh Gavin, Oran Dougan
WINNING START FOR UNDER 15s IN THE HUMPHREY KELLEGHER CUP
LEITRIM 2-12  LOUTH 1-2
The Leitrim Under 15s began their 2023 Humphrey Kellegher Cup campaign in fine style with a dominant display over Louth earlier today in Pairc Sean MacDiarmada. Leitrim came flying out of the blocks as they completely dominated Louth from pillar to post. Leitrim added early points through Jack Attard (2), Conor Reynolds and Louis Quinn to give Leitrim an early 4 point advantage after 15 minutes. 2 wonderful long range Jack Moolick points were complemented by another Jack Attard point to complete the Leitrim scoring in the first half. The highlight of the first half had to be the workrate of these Leitrim youngsters as they kept Louth at bay for the duration of the first half. Half time score: Leitrim 0-7 Louth 0-0.
Leitrim continued in the same manner in the second half. An early point from Caelan Newton was matched by Louth’s first score of the game. Two wonderful passes from Ronan Fox and Conor Reynolds created an opportunity for Senan McGowan as he coolly stepped around the last defender and dinked the ball past the advancing goalkeeper. Louth responded with a fine individual goal and their final score of the game soon followed. Leitrim added points from Jack Moolick and Caelan Newton before a powerful Jack Moolick shot found it’s way to the Louth net. Manorhamilton duo Ronan Fox and Jack Attard rounded off Leitrim’s scoring as they ran out easy winners.
There will be tougher games ahead for these youngsters but if they continue to bring the wonderful attitude and workrate that was in evidence today, they will be a match for any team.
LEITRIM: Rhionn Gallagher; Shane Mayock; Ronan Connolly; Charlie Slevin; Keelan McGurren; Rian Costello; Cillian McWeeney; Jack Moolick (1-3); Thomas Gunn; Louis Quinn (0-1); Ronan Fox (0-1); Karl Gethins; Senan McGowan (1-0); Jack Attard (0-4); Conor Reynolds (0-1). Subs: Caelan Newton (0-2); Ultan McNulty; Emmet Faughnan; Darragh McBrien

Leitrim GAA Squad And Officials Arrive Safely Back From New York

The Leitrim squad and officials arrived safely back in Ireland earlier this morning from our Connacht SFC match with New York, played in Gaelic Park, on Saturday night last. While we, obviously, are very disappointed with the result of the game, we wish to express our extreme gratitude to all the supporters who travelled in great numbers to the Bronx and gave the lads great encouragement during the game, and all those who, no doubt, watching it on GAAGO or listening to it on local radio, would have likewise been encouraging and willing the team to victory. We wish to also acknowledge all the help and support we received from the Leitrim Community in New York, led by our team sponsors Seamus and Caitriona Clarke.

The preparation, dedication, and effort put in by all concerned in the run-up to this game was supposed to cumulatively lead to a win and a place in the Connacht semi-final. It wasn’t to be, unfortunately, and we heartily congratulate New York on a historic victory. Their scenes of unbridled joy were in sharp contrast to the desolation felt by our lads at the final whistle. New York have many years of ‘what might have been’ since they first entered the Connacht SFC in 1999, and last Saturday, their long wait for a victory came to an end. We wish them the best of luck in less than two weeks as they prepare to take on Sligo in the Connacht semi-final.

We look forward to the Tailteann Cup, which commences on May 13/14, and we implore anybody with an interest in the promotion of these young lads to maintain positivity over the next number of weeks. It is easy to be critical, and positive criticism is always welcome. Some of what has been posted in the aftermath of last Saturday night makes for difficult reading and, dare I say it, has been made with little thought for those on the receiving end. The pen is mightier than the sword so always bear in mind that our players are dedicated and exemplary young men who give up huge chunks of their time and make tremendous sacrifices in pursuit of an amateur sport that is supposed to be for everybody’s enjoyment. It goes without saying that our team management left no stone unturned and did their utmost to have the lads primed for the match.

 

All we lost on Saturday night last was a mere game of football. We are very proud of them all as indeed we’re certain are their parents and all the family members associated with them.
