Leagues roundup

It has been a long year for club players and the second tier of the league has finished for 4 groups as 4 finals were played over the weekend. Mohill are the undisputed champions for 06 as they claim their second title.

On Saturday in Division 1 League it was definitely Mohills year as they claimed the double title with a one point win over Aughawillan played in favorable weather conditions in Ballinamore on Saturday.

Today was a busy day with 3 finals played. Bornacoola took the honours in the Division 1 Shield as they overcame Allen Gaels by 4 points on a scoreline of Allen Gaels 2-02 to 1-09 Bornacoola.

In the Division 2 Shield Final Aughnasheelin just managed their win with the narrowest of margins after their 1-08 to 1-07 for Ballinaglera.

The Division 3 Shield Final saw Drumkeerin score 3 critical goals in their 3-03 to 0-09 win over Sean O Heslins. A goal for Drumkeeeran in the last few minutes robbed Sean O Heslins of their one point advantage and Drumkeeran sealed the victory with a final point.

Only the Division 2 League remains with Intermediate champions Carrigallen on top and they await the second place team which is currently a 3 way betweenÓglencar/Manor, Sean O Heslins & Glenfarne/Kilty. Carrigallen have a chance to replicate the double title wins of Mohill at the Intermediate/Division 2 level.

The order of play based on the League rules for 06 means that Glenfarne/Kilty play Sean O Heslins in the preliminary game. The winners then play Glencar/Manorhamilton in the second playoff game. The winners of that game are thenÓguaranteed second slot for promotion to divison 1 and they get the chance for the league title when they play Carrigallen in the final. This format will take a 3 weeks to conclude inevitabley means that the competition will end in 07. At this point all the dates must be decided.

In other news the U21 B game between Carrigallen v Drumkeeran has yet to be decided on.

We hope to have news on all remaining fixtures later this week.

Club Grounds of the Year

Congratulation to Aughnasheelin on winning the Leitrim County Club Grounds of the year for 2006. In a close run competition the outright winners were chosen after Connacht Officers inspected the short list recommended by the Leitrim County committee. The runners up were Bornacoola and Drumreilly.

All 3 have paid excellent attention to detail in recent years and this has culminated in the excellent quality of the grounds for both players and spectators alike.

Aughnasheelin have been particulary busy with recent major upgrading of the pitch and surrounding area. The awarding of this years title is well justified and congratulations to all concerned and well done on the win.

Website update-

As part of our ongoing process to improve our site the home page has been modified to include a listing of the two most recent match results and the next 2 fixtures.

In addition the League Competition headings is now clickable and will bring you directly to the respective competition table. The League Team names are also clickable so when a team name is chosen a filtered view of results and known fixtures is displayed for that particular team.

More features will be added as they are developed over the next few weeks. Suggestions always welcome.

Photo Library Update

Approx. 80 photos of the Ladies Junior Semi were added to the Photo Library over the last few days. The link to the [b]Photograph[/b] section is available on the left hand menu under the [b]Interactive[/b] section link.

Its worth checking this link on a weekly basis as our photographer James Molloy is very busy clicking away and recording the action at many of the county and Club games. We will of course have photos of the Tommy Murphy Cup in Croker available as soon as possible after the game.

Quality prints are also available directly from James, the email address is james.molloy@leitrim.gaa.ie

You will find also some interesting photos taken recently in the run up to the final in Croker !
(Dustin actually came to Leitrim in search of a ticket !)

Update on ticket availability

Leitrim County Board received our allocation of tickets this morning and we are making every effort to distribute tickets to clubs in as fair a manner as possible. Tickets are classified as either Adult (?40) or Juvenile (?5). Adult tickets are available for most areas of the stadium while juvenile tickets are only valid for allocated family areas.

A number of Adult ?40 tickets will be distributed tonight (Thursday) to Club representatives.

It should be noted that we have been allocated a generous proportion of tickets in the Family ticket areas (A family ticket is a combination of Adult & Juvenile tickets). In order to try and facilitate families we are asking the supporters to contact your local club secretary and order your combination of Adult and Juvenile tickets by 6pm on Sunday evening. Juvenile tickets are for Under 16s only and cost ?5 each.

Where possible we will be keeping families together by allocating the tickets based on available seating arrangements.

This will take considerable time to implement but we hope to be in a position to allocate the batches of family tickets early next week as per the orders received.

Families who wish to purchase tickets for juveniles this weekend may do so but you will be charged full value for all the tickets (?40).

At all times tickets can [b]only[/b] be sourced from your club secretary and he or she will advise you of availability.
