Leitrim v Limerick Report

Limerick 1-22
Leitrim 0-9

Limerick totally outclassed Leitrim in the last game in Division 4 yesterday.  The result means Leitrim remain in Division 4 next year while Limerick and Waterford make the leap to Division 3.  

Limerick were quite impressive in this encounter and aside from their comfortable victory they are currently the leagues top scorers, are still in contention for the 10,000 Fair Play Award and now look forward to a League Final against Waterford (possibly in Croke Park).

To be fair to Leitrim they battled right to the final whistle and had they not wasted two goal chances the scoreline may have been different.  Leitrim opened their account when Michael Foley pointed the first of five frees for Leitrim in the ninth minute but by half time the homeside led by 0-11 to 0-5.  Leitrim only scored a point from play in the second half while Limerick converted a penalty and ran out easy winners on a scoreline of 1-22 to 0-9.

Next season the Leitrim Team will be joined by Roscommon and Fermanagh who made the drop from Division 3 so if it is any consolation there will be some interesting local derbies and short journeys at least!

Leitrim scorers: M Foley 0-5 (5f), D Gilhooley 0-2, S Canning and R Kennedy 0-1 each.

Leitrim: G Phelan, D Beck, J McKeon, D Reynolds (St Marys) B Prior, S Foley, C Clarke, S Canning, T Beirne, P McGuinness, D OConnor, M Foley, J Glancy, R Kennedy, D Gilhooley.

Subs: C Maguire for Beck, B Gallagher for Kennedy, R Cox for J Glancy (G Manor), C Richardson for Canning, D Sweeney for OConnor.

Leitrim v Longford – Report

Leitrim 0-13
Longford 0-12

The first half of this penultimate round of the league left a lot to be desired as the flow of the game was constantly eroded by free after free.  The wind assisted Longford team made the most of the elements with Francis McGee slotting over six frees for Longford who took a 0-8 to 0-6 lead into the break.

The pace of the second half intensified as Leitrim charged into the Tesco end determined to change the scoreline.  Within six minutes of the restart, Leitrim had leveled through points from substitute Ronan Kennedy and an on form Michael Foley. The teams swapped points through out the half and in the last 10 minutes Leitrims Colm Clarke, fresh on the field. took the ball in defense and soloed 50 yards to strike the ball clean over the bar from distance.  Leitrim fought hard during the remaining time and held out for a deserved win.

The quality of football was not as pleasant to watch as in recent games but this local derby was never going to be easy and Leitrims desire to up the tempo and grind out a result is heartening.

Next up for Leitrim is the last game of the league and a trip to the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick in what promises to be a keenly contested game as Limerick have a chance of promotion and need the points.  In our last visit south Leitrim visitors to Kilmallock in 2008 will remember the circumstances in which the green and gold were robbed of a crucial point to avoid relegation to Division 4 with literally the last kick of the game. 

scorers –
Leitrim: M Foley 0-8 (0-5f), J Glancy 0-2, C Clarke, R Kennedy, D OConnor 0-1 each.
Longford: F McGee 0-7 (0-5f), P Dowd, B McElvaney 0-2 each, R McGoldrick 0-1.

Subs: R Kennedy for Howard (29), R Mulvey for Gilhooley (56), C Clarke for G Reynolds (63), B Gallagher for J Glancy

Leitrim V Carlow – Match Report

Leitrim Footballers had a hard earned but well deserved victory over Carlow in Dr Cullen Park on Satruday last (27/3/10) on a scoreline of 1-16 to 1-12.

Leitrim raced into a 1-5 lead within the opening 15 minutes before Carlow got on the scoresheet with a 17th minute free.  The visitors made excellent use of the first half wind advantage and at the interval they held a 6 point lead (1-11 to 1-5).

Carlow made every effort to claw back Leitrims lead in the second half but the closest they came was within 3 points of the visitors.  The loss of two of their players on second yellow card offences did not help their cause and Leitrim were reduced to 14 men late on when right half-back James Glancy received a second yellow card.

This was an excellent victory for the Leitrim team and next up is a local derby with neighbours Longford next Saturay 3/4/10 (Easter Saturday) in Páirc Seán.  Throw in time is 2.30 and all support would be greatly appreciated.

Leitrim Panel and scorers: E Lyons, D Beck, J McKeon, D Reynolds (St Marys), James Glancy (St Marys), G Reynolds, W McKeon (0-2), S Canning, T Beirne, P McGuinness (0-1), D OConnor (0-2), M Foley (0-7 3F), P Howard, James Glancy (0-3)(Glencar/Manorhamilton), D Gilhooley (0-1).
