Leitrim GAA Coaching & Games Development March 2014

Congrats
While it was great to witness our Senior County team win in Wicklow at the weekend and we wish them well in Waterford on Saturday, pride of place must go to the Ballinamore Community school senior team on winning the Connacht Senior C championship on Wednesday last. They play there All-Ireland semi-final inÓgort on Saturday next at 1.45pm and we would encourage any Leitrim supporters not making the trip to Waterford to try and get to Gort to support the lads.

Childrens First Bill 2012

Garda Vetting
The new Childrens First bill 2012 is due to become law in the first quarter of this year. Following this it will be a legal requirement for clubs to ensure that all persons involved with children within their club are Garda vetted. No person should be allowed have any involvement with groups up to 18 years if they are not Garda Vetted.
Clubs should request a copy of the Garda Vetting clearance letter from all personnel involved with any teams under the age of 18 years. Clubs can get confirmation of the vetted status of its members by submitting a full list of all current members working with children up to 18 years to County childrens officer Terence Boyle.

Scór Sinsir took place on Saturday last in Drumshanbo. The talent on stage once again was of a high standard & left the Roscommon judges with a few hard decisions to make. There was one entry only in the Leiriu competition however the adjudication panel declared it ineligible to go forward to the Connacht final under Scór rules. It will be the first time Leitrim have no entry in drama. Under new guidelines brought in this year there is a lot of unknowns of how to proceed & hopefully we can learn more through its developments in this its first Scór year.

The Connacht final will take place on March 22nd at 6pm sharp.

The very best of luck to all our Leitrim winners
