Congratulations to the St Manchan’s team and Management who last Sunday won the Minor Championship 15-A-Side Final.
The game against Ballinamore Sean O’Heslins proved to be a very exciting game with both sides giving their all in the game. Ballinamore got off to a good start and were quicker to settle with Ballinamores Peter Reynolds registering the game’s opening score with a lovely point.
It got even better for Ballinamore when in the 5th minute Conor MoranÓgot the games opening goal having avoided a challenge from Jason Farry, St Manchans goalkeeper and with two defenders on the goal line.
Things were looking quite difficult for St Manchans when Michael Bohan was taken off with an injury which would have added extra pressure to the team and Ballinamore went on to extend their lead with two excellent points by Kevin Mullen and Peter Reynolds. With great character and determination St Manchans began to turn things around getting them right back into contention with Keith Keegan starting the Scóring with an excellent point but it wasn’t until the final three minutes of the half that St Manchans really began to get into the game with two excellent points by Jamie Stenson and Keith Beirne pointed in quick succession and with a minute of the half remaining Keith Keegan struck for a decisive goal.
St Manchans finished the first half the strongest with an excellent point by Keith Beirne and he then went on to score another point from a free deep into injury time ending the half St Manchans 1-06 Ballinamore 1-03.
Ballinamore came out fighting in the second half and started the Scóring within 5 minutes with points from Kevin Mullen, Luke Murphy and Peter Reynolds which put the teams level.
RonanÓgordon scored for St Manchans from a very tight angle to regain the lead and then St Manchans went for their second goal with a score from Fiachra McGuinness giving them a four point lead. Within minute St Manchans scored their third goal when Oisin Madded who got man of the match sidestepped a defender Scóring a great goal.
Ballinamore refused to give up and with 18 minutes remaining Oisin McCaffrey goaled from a close range after hard work from Peter Reynolds and Niall McGovern putting them back into contention but St Manchans pulled away with four unanswered points and in injury time Keith Beirne got the teams fourth goal with final score St Manchans 4-12 Ballinamore Sean O’Heslin 2-07.

The Leitrim Senior & Minor Championship Finals
Club FootballAnyone’s Game
All roads will lead to Carrick-on Shannon next Sunday afternoon when St Mary’s take on Mohill in the Connacht Gold Leitrim Senior Football Championship Final. While the bookies have St Mary’s as slight favourites everyone knows this game is just too close to call. The last time the sides met in the final in 2006 St Mary’s were coasting to victory by five points with twelve minutes to go when Mohill staged a dramatic recovery to score six unanswered points and emerge victorious in the most thrilling of finishes. One thing is certain ‘€’ no-one will be leaving Páirc Seán before Ray McBrien blows the final whistle.
The Minor Final sees St. Manchan’s play Seán O’Heslin’s Ballinamore with the throw in scheduled for 1.30pm. St.Manchan’s will be hoping to go one better this year having been defeated by Fenagh/Gortletteragh in last year’s final after the first game went to a replay. Seán O’Heslin’s Ballinamore have a great underage tradition with a ‘€’never say die’€’ attitude and this match promises to be as exciting as the Senior Final.
Our Under 12 young stars of the future from St Mary’s, Glencar Manorhamilton, Aughavas and Dromahair will take to the field for exhibitionÓgames in both hurling and football during the half time interval in the minor game.
At the half time break in the senior final we will honour the great Aughavas team – the Leitrim Senior Champions from 1963 – a team featuring household names in the club and in the county.
Remember to keep you admission ticket as Connacht Gold, our Senior Championship sponsors, have generously donated vouchers for a free half time draw.
Be sure to get your copy of our 54 page full colour souvenir match programme at the entrance gates featuring specially written articles to celebrate the occasion. It would make a thoughtful and valued gift for those unable to be at the games on Sunday.
