See You On Sunday!

SEE YOU ON SUNDAY !
————————–
 
Leitrim followers should need little encouragement to hop across the Sligo border on Sunday for the FBD Insurance Connacht League Final in Markievicz Park.  We should have fond memories of our last visit there!
 
A final suggests the end of something, but really for both counties, Sunday is also very much a beginning.  A beginning of the championship bragging rights for a start.  If Leitrim handle New York and Sligo do the same with London, then the focus will be on the big day in Páirc Seán on Sunday June 23rd, when they come head to head in the Connacht Championship Semi-final, just one step away from the chance of real glory.  Thats Bonfire night, so whichever side can blaze a trail that day will have their followers hearts aflame right up to Connacht Final Day.
 
A League Final is also the culmination of a series of games, in which you have to earn your right to be in the top two. Leitrim and Sligo are both happy with how they have performed in  this years FBD League to date.  For the green and gold there is the added bonus of beating old rivals the Rossies and then burying the ghosts of Castlebar against Mayo, before hitting a rocky patch against the students of GMIT.  To win on Sunday all engines will need to be firing.
 
There is another incentive for victory in Markievicz — the not so small matter of qualifying to travel to the Big Apple to play New York on Sunday October 6th in the overall FBD Final.  There was a time when a gold watch or individual trophies would have been the norm, but thanks to the generosity of the FBD Insurance Company and of Connacht Council GAA, the prize is a much bigger one.
 
Come Sunday it is doubtful if anything in the future will be of concern to Barney, George or the players. All they will want is to clinch victory on the day.
 
See you on Sunday!

Leitrim Captaincy

Leitrim Captaincy

Emlyn Mulligan has the honour of captaining the Leitrim senior footballers for the 2013 season. 

A key figure in Melvin Gaels county championship victory in 2012, Emlyn has recently transferred to the St Brigid’s Club in Dublin, but his heart is firmly set on success for Leitrim in the coming year.  His first ambition is to lead the county to promotion in the Allianz National League, in preparation for the Connacht Championship encounter against New York in gaelicPark. 

For the past number of years Emlyn has been among the county’s top scorers and featured in the top ten nationally in 2012.  He has thankfully recovered from a number of injuries that had threatened to curtail his playing career. 

Wayne McKeon of the Ballinamore Sean O’Heslin’s Club takes up the mantle of Vice Captain and has the tigerish leadership qualities befitting the role.

We wish Emlyn, Wayne and the Leitrim team and management every success in the 2013 season.

GAA Football Provincial Championship Draws 2013

The draw has taken play for the four GAA Football provincial championship draws for 2013. The four draws took place at Croke Park on Thursday evening, and was broadcast live on RTÉ 2 television.

All-Ireland champions Donegal have been handed a very difficult draw in Ulster. They will face Tyrone in the quarter-final, and if they come through that game, either Down or Derry will await in the semi-final.

In Connacht, beaten All-Ireland finalists Mayo also face a very difficult draw. They will play rivals Galway in the quarter-final, with Roscommon awaiting the winners in the semi-final.

In Munster, heavyweights Cork and Kerry are on opposite sides of the draw, while the Leinster draw has produced a few very interesting ties. Dublin will play the winners of Westmeath and Carlow in the quarter-finals, while Meath will take on either Wicklow or Longford in the last eight. See below for full details of Connacht draw.

See you all in Pairc Sean

A bumper crowd is expected in Páirc Seán for the first championship meeting between Leitrim and Laois.  

There has been no let up by our team –

training, travelling, focussing, injury treatments, laps and drills 

They have the hard work done – now lets do our bit ….. show the team how much they mean to us – turn up in Carrick, no matter what else is on – give them a rapturous welcome as they enter the field and cheer them on from throw-in to the final whistle.  Lets create the same electric atmosphere we had last weekend with the “Lee-trum, Lee-trum” chants and the stand the terraces going mad.

 

Best of Luck Lads …. Nothing – ABSOLUTELY nothing beats being there with ye.
