TG4 All Ireland Junior Semi Final

Leitrim 1-17 Longford 1-8

The TG4 All-Ireland ladies junior football final will be an all Connacht affair after Leitrim set up a meeting with neighbours Sligo following a semi-final victory over Longford at Hyde Park on Saturday.
Leitrim produced a sensational second half performance to overwhelm a Longford side who were looking good for the first twenty minutes of the game. Longford, minus star player Sharon Treacy because of injury, led 1-5 to 0-6 at half-time with the goal coming from a 20th minute Denise Murtagh penalty. The Leinster side started the second half positively and points by Murtagh and Edel Quinn extended their advantage to leave a goal between the sides after 34 minutes. However, they failed to score again until the 53rd minute during which time a rampant Leitrim side hit 1-9 without reply. Leitrim were simply unstoppable during that period ? winning pretty much every ball and Longford couldn?t get outside their own 45 metre line.
Sinead Quinn started the Scóring spree with a 36th minute point to leave it 0-7 to 1-7. Quinn and Mary McKeown tagged over a point apiece inside the next two minutes to leave the minimum between the sides before Lorraine Brennan rattled home the all important goal. The Cloone girl gathered possession just around the 14 metre line and as she ran through she unleashed an unstoppable shot to the top right hand corner of the Longford goal in the 40th minute.
It was the first time Leitrim led in the match after chasing Longford from the off but once they took control there was only ever going to be one winner. Player of the match Eimear McGlade, Quinn (3), Aoife Kelly and Maeve Quinn all scored points over the next seven minutes to put Leitrim out of reach with a 1-15 to 1-7 lead in the 52nd minute. A converted free by Murtagh ended Longford?s drought a minute later but it was too little too late as Mary McKeon and Ann Marie Cox added further points to ensure a well deserved win.

Leitrim: Louise Loughlin, Emer Kelly, Sinead Brennan, Mairead Stenson, Teresa Mylott, Eimear McGlade (0-2), Amanda Sweeney, Maeve Quinn (0-1), Sarah McLoughlin, Mary McKeon (0-2), Lorraine Brennan (1-0), Sharon Kerrigan (0-1), Aoife Kelly (0-2), Sinead Quinn (0-6), Ann Marie Cox (0-3) Subs: Carla Creegan for Amanda Sweeney, Anna Conlan for Sharon Kerrigan, Emer Horan, Alanah Bohan, Erin Farrell, Naomi Faughnan, Phillipa Maguire, Camilla McDonagh, Lisa McGowan, Michelle McNulty, Claire Owens, Eilis Quinn.

TG4 All Ireland Championship:
For the first time in 18 years, Leitrim will play Championship football in September thanks to a one point win over Limerick on Sunday in the All Ireland quarter final. This was always going to be a difficult assignment for Leitrim as they faced opponents that they knew little about except from match results and reputation. On the day, Limerick were worthy opponents and had an exceptionally talented player in Dymphna O?Brien, who deservedly received player of the match for her efforts on behalf of the Shannonsiders. Leitrim were pre match favourites for the game thanks to their defeat of Sligo in the Provincial Final, however this tag did not sit comfortably with the Connacht champions. Leitrim started brightly with an early point to settle the nerves but they resurfaced almost immediately as O?Brien fired over three sublime points in a row. From then on, and despite enjoying plenty of possession, Leitrim could not get on top but continued to work hard. The tactic of deploying a second marker to curtail O?Briens influence settled the defence but inevitably caused problems up front where Limerick deployed their spare player. One point down at half time Leitrim were still well in contention and had the aid of a slight wind for the second period. Leitrim began to again enjoy plenty of possession but again found Scóring hard to come by but with ten minutes remaining it was all to play for with the sides level. There was stalemate for a number of minutes but on a counter attack Limerick scored what looked like a match winning goal as Leitrim dreams turned into a nightmare. Flashbacks to the National League final in May, same venue, and Munster opponents again where Clare dashed Leitrim hopes. However this time it was Leitrim that turned the tables. A perfectly flighted ball to the edge of the square, where Leitrims player of the match, Sarah McLoughlin timed her run to perfection and fisted to the net. Indeed Sarah?s high fielding throughout was a highlight of the game. Two and a half minutes remaining and level again. Then up stepped Maeve Quinn with fifty seconds remaining to fire over what proved to be the match winning score and Leitrim began to dream again. Well done to the panel of twenty seven players who have worked so hard on the training fields of the county to bring Leitrim to within one hour of reaching the All Ireland final. Their opponents in the semi final will be Cavan or Longford who play in Pearse Park next Sunday. The All Ireland semi final will be played on Saturday 9th September in Dr. Hyde Park, Roscommon and will be televised live on TG4.

Sponsorship:
Leitrim county board would welcome any offers of sponsorship to help with the ongoing cost of preparing the team on their football journey this year. All enquiries to ChairpersonÓgeraldine Creamer at 086 3290256.

Supporters:
A special word of thanks again to the supporters who turned out in their numbers to support the team on Sunday. There are certainly getting excitement and value for money in the games played by the ladies this year ? your support was very much appreciated and we will be looking forward to evenÓgreater numbers in three weeks time.

Intermediate Championship Final:
Next Saturday evening the Intermediate Championship will be decided when Cloone play Kiltubrid at 7.00pm in Ballinamore. Having disposed of Annaduff, Bornacoola, St Josephs and finally Mohill, these two teams will undoubtedly serve up a great game of football for the final. Both teams will be confident of success and it is a difficult game to predict. Cloone?s challenge could be affected by the fitness of the Brennan sisters, Sinead and Lorraine who both picked up injuries on Sunday but will hopefully have recovered in time while Eileen Colreavy, and Aisling Brennan will also have big impact on the game. Kiltubrid will be looking to the form of players in young Aine Tighe and the more experienced Blaithin McKiernan, Miranda Burke, Emer Kelly and Emer Horan inÓgoal. A game not to be missed and best of luck to both teams and management. Admission to the game is Adults ?10 and Students ?5.

Senior B Championship:
Annaduff, Bornacoola, St Josephs, Glencar Manor, Ballinaglera and St Marys are this years participants in the Senior B Championship which gets underway on Friday evening with the first of the two quarter finals. St Josephs travel to Dromod to take on Bornacoola at 7.00pm. On form to date St Josephs should progress to the semi final. The second quarter final sees Annaduff play newly crowned Junior A champions Glencar Manor. This will be a very interesting clash and a repeat performance of their championship form a couple of weeks ago could see Glencar Manor progress. This game also takes place on Friday evening at 7.30pm and is provisionally fixed for Aughawillan

Division 3 League:
A result of a crucial game between Dromahair and Aughawillan may decide the finalists of the Division 3. This game will be played on Saturday afternoon.

Minor 9 a Side:
The first semi final of the championship taakes place between Kiltubrid and Aughawillan next Tuesday evening at venue and time to be confirmed.

Guess the score Competition:
The draw for the winner of the ?500 prize will take place at County training tonight and the result announced next week. There was no correct entry for the exact scoreline of 1-14 to 3-7 but seven entries are in the running for the prize. Congratulations to Niamh O?Malley from the St Josephs club who wins ?50 for selling the most entries.

Tommy Murphy Cup Final:
Best wished to Leitrim on Sunday next as they face Louth in Croke Park in the final. A great experience for the Leitrim team and a win would be well deserved for their efforts during the year.

Leitrim Ladies Minor Final

St Josephs 3-06 Glencar Manor 3-04

An incredible last five minutes decided the outcome of this absorbing minor final played in St Marys on Saturday evening when a goal from sub Sinead Cregan in the last seconds of the game broke Glencar Manor hearts to earn St Josephs the minor championship title for 2006. This was the second year in a row that Manor reached the final having lost last year after a replay with Kiltubrid. Both teams gave a great display of both attacking and defending and while each enjoyed periods of dominance, going into the final minutes it looked like Glencar Manor had done enough to add to their growing list of titles this year. However St Josephs great fightback to the final whistle earned them their first ever Minor Championship title with Creegan?s goal.

The early exchanges suggested a tight game in prospect with two evenly matched teams. St Josephs had the first two attacks of the game but Mary Poinard cleared the danger with the first while Phillipa Maguire hit a wide.The game was just four minutes old when Siobhan McCartan stepped up to take a 45. Her well struck shot dipped just under the crossbar for a goal despite the best efforts of Julie Kennedy in the Manor goals to give St Joseph?s the perfect start of a goal. Minutes later Manor had the chance to reply with another 45 but the shot tailed narrowly wide. A minute later Siobhan Feely, so influential in last weeks Junior Championship final scored Glencar Manors first point from play. A minute later Manor took the lead following a good pass from Feely to Lorriane Kelly who hit the back of the net. Manor began to enjoy a good spell of dominance at this stage and Michelle McNulty and Feely again were involved in a move that resulted in a good save by Lisa O Rourke. O Rourke was called into the action two minutes later and saved again from Natasha McEnroy. Midwat through the half Feely scored her second point, a great effort from play. However St Josephs responded immediately with a good Clare Owens pass to Carmel Monaghan but her effort onÓgoal was well saved by Kennedy who cleared the danger. Another wide was to follow by Monaghan before Phillipa Maguire hit a great effort over the bar from play. Clare Cullen and Mary Poinard made two vital interceptions to keep St Josephs from adding to their score before Maguire hit her second point from play to level the game with five minutes remaining. Glencar Manor launched another attack but McCartan dispossed Lorraine Kelly and launched a counter attack involving Maguire and eventually Monaghan who put St Josephs into the lead. Manor had a great opportunity to regain the lead with two minutes remaining following a good move involving Aisling Kerrigan, Natasha McEnroy and finally Siobhan Feely whose shot was again well saved by O?Rourke. The final action of the half resulted in another Monaghan point to leave St Josephs two points clear at the break on a scoreline of 1-04 to 1-02.

Glencar Manor had the first attack of the second half but Michelle McNulty hit her effort wide. McNulty had another opportunity two minutes later but O?Rourke was again alert to the danger. Catriona O?Hara hit another wide as Manor tried to reduce the deficit. With both defences putting severe pressure on the forwards, scores for both teams became difficult as Fionnuala Bohan, Siobhan McCartan and Elaine McGovern for St Josephs and Mary Poinard, Clare Cullen and Aisling Kerrigan for Glencar Manor closed and blocked at every opportunity. Andrea Kelly and Lorraine Moran had efforts for St Josephs wide before Monaghan increased St Jospehs lead with a fine point from play. Manor responded with a great pass from McNulty across the goal but Feely just failed to connect. But from the kickout McNulty hit another pass in to Natasha McEnroy who fisted to the net and it was game on again with fifteen minutes gone an the sides level. A minute later McEnroy was back in the action an hit a second goal with nine minutes remaining. Straight from the kickout Niamh Cleary passed to Feely who pointed from play. Feely was again in the acction a minute later when she beat three defenders to score the point of the game and Manor looked to be on the way to securing the title. However St Josephs were not finished and Clare Owens began to see more of the ball for St Josephs. She initiated a good passing move that almost resulted in a goal but the Manor defence blocked on the line. Phillipa Maguire won the clearance and Louise Maguire finished with a point to leave five between the teams. At the other end Feely was again into the action but O?Rourke saved. With two minutes remaining a great run up the field by centreback Fionnuala Bohan created problems for Manor and her pass to was finished to the net to leave the mininum between the teams. Owens was involved again almost immediately with a great run through the defence but was tackled well and her effort hit the bottom of the post and was cleared. Mary Poinard was called on to make a great catch as St Josephs came in search for an equaliser. Well into injury time now and Glencar Manor had one more attack as they tried to finish the game. A well worked move ended with Feely hitting the crossbar and from the resulting clearance St Josephs moved the ball down the field. Owens attacked down the left wing and her inch perfect pass to sub Sinead Creegan put her clear and she finished to the net with the last action of the game to earn St Joseph?s the title with two points to spare.

Ladies Under 12 Championship Final

Glencar Manor 3.12 St Josephs 0.08

Glencar Manor ended St Josephs hopes of winning the under 12 championship three years in a row as they pulled away in the second half for an emphatic victory on Wednesday evening last in Ballinaglera. Following Manor?s first ever under age title in the Under 16 championship last year, this title confirms impressive work being undertaken by the North Leitrim club. Apart from the result of the game, the footballing ability and skill level on display from both teams was of the highest quality and made for a great evening?s entertainment for the large crowd of spectators.

The game was barely a minute old when Ailbhe Clancy hit a sweet point for Manor from the outside of her boot. Emma O?Hagan followed up a minute later with another point before St Josephs first attack from Niamh McKiernan but her shot was saved by Sarah Keaney. Five minutes later Clancy scored the first of her three goals after a short free was well worked with Emma O?Hagan and she placed it well out of the keepers reach with a fine finish. St Josephs began to settle into the game and the impressive McKiernan fired over a good point to open their account. Anita Connefry reacted well as Clancy moved forward again for Manor and with the resulting clearance McKiernan hit another fine point for St Josephs followed by a free to leave just two points between the teams. Clancy found space again for Manor ant hit another point and was unlucky two minutes later with a snap shot that went narrowly wide. In the remaining ten minutes St Josephs again dominated with two points from McKiernan, followed by a great effort from Orla Williams to level the game. Connefry made a great catch just over the bar from an Elaine Connolly effort to prevent a point. A brilliant pass from Clancy split the St Joseph?s defence and Siadbh Clancy pointed comfortably to give Manor the lead. St Josephs replied with another great point from play before player of the match Clancy took the score of the game with a brilliantly measured goal to give the North Leitrim team a three point lead at the break.

Manor started the second half as they finished the first with a long range effort from midfielder Elaine Connolly. Sub Niamh Feehily got in on the act when she increased the Manor lead but McKiernan responded immediately for St Josephs. Following a period of great defending by both teams Manor were next to score with another O?Hagan point. Clancy then stepped up to take a difficult free from the right but picked her spot in the top left hand corner for her hat trick and from then on the result of the game was never in doubt. O Hagan pointed a 20m free but St Josephs continued to work hard to reduce the arrears and were unlucky with two wides. Elaine Connolly scored her second point from a free that was deflected over by no 1 in the St Josephs goals. Three unanswered points from Connolly, Niamh Phelan and Connolly again from a free ensured a first Under 12 championship title for Glencar Manor and a proud moment for captain Aoife Keaney who accepted the cup from ChairpersonÓgeraldine Creamer.

Glencar Manor: Sarah Keaney, Aoife Keaney, Chloe Gilligan, Lauren McManus, Claire O?Brien, Rachel Kerrigan, Elaine Connolly (0-3), Siadbh Clancy (0-1), Emma O?Hagan (0-3), Ailbhe Clancy (3-02), Shauna Ferguson Subs: Emer Feehily, Niamh Feehily (0-2), Charlene McGovern, Edel McLoughlin, Rionach Nealon, Michelle Ferguson, Roisin Rooney, Roisin McLoughlin, Dervla Ferguson, Emma Coyle, Nicola Clancy, Aine Loughlin.

Leitrim Ladies Notes:

[b]TG4 Connacht Championship Final:[/b]
After seven long years and contesting six finals Leitrim finally got back on top again when Ann Marie Cox lifted the Flanagan Oil Cup on behalf of her very proud teammates at 3.20pm on Sunday afternoon in McHale Park, Castlebar. To all outside the camp, no one could see past a Sligo win ? the form book could only have Sligo odds on to win. In May Leitrim played Sligo in the second round of the Championship and while Leitrim played well for 20 minutes, Sligo again dominated and ran out comfortable winners. But within the camp there was a quiet confidence and determination. A good win in the semi final against Galway four weeks ago helped repair the damage. The heart breaking National league defeat to Clare and the hurt of the past years could all be erased in 60 minutes but it would take all of the courage and determination that the girls could summon and how they did. Playing into a very difficult wind in the first half, Leitrim struck early but it was obvious that Sligo were not going to relinquish their title easily. Four points behind at the break was acceptable with the benefit of the wind in the secondhalf and the mood at half time was good. Things disimproved as Sligo went into a commanding six point lead as the half progressed. Then Leitrim found the courage to dig deeper and chip away at the Sligo lead. As the countdown clock ticked closer to 0.00 a goal would have to come Leitrim?s way to make that final push. A penalty decided it. Captain Ann Marie Cox stepped up and shouldered the responsibility with a brilliant effort. The sides were level and all to play for. Sligo went ahead again but Leitrim responded. Only minutes left and up stepped Sinead Quinn with a wonderful effort to put Leitrim ahead. Over a minute to go and Sligo had one more attack ? then a Scórable free was awarded. They decided to go for broke and looked for a goal for the win. The discipline and effort put into defending the goal was incredible and forced the Sligo attack into going for the draw but the pressure forced an eventual shot wide. Ten seconds on the clock and the subs were making their way down the steps towards the field ? the fulltime hooter went but no one heard it such was the noise of celebration. Management were still shouting instructions to the defence when they realised it was all over as the players fell to their knees in celebration. The tears flowed as they had for the past number of years but this time in celebration. A great result for a wonderful bunch of players who gave everything they had to secure the win. A special word of congratulations to the eleven players who did not get a chance to play on Sunday and who put in the same huge effort all year ? there would be no trophy without them. With a great reception in Cox?s of Dromod the team moved on to Carrick where the game was shown in Paddy?s Bar ? the celebrations lasted long into the night of a day to remember.

[b]Player of the Match:[/b]
There was a double celebration for Leitrim as the peerless Maeve Quinn was voted Player of the match. In a panel of many heroes, Maeve?s workrate all day epitomised the efforts of her team mates and a worthy winner of the award.

[b]Supporters:[/b]A special word of thanks to all of the supporters who came to support Leitrim on Sunday.
