Sean O Heslins – Cycle to the Match

 Seán O’Heslin’s Cycle to the Match 

Ballinamore Seán O’Heslin’s are continuing their tradition of cycling to Leitrim’s first Championship match on home soil. For the past four years they have cycled to the first round, apart of course from the London and New York games. In 2010 they cycled to Roscommon, in 2011 they went to Sligo, they had their longest trip last year to Castlebar and now their shortest to Carrick on Shannon. The only trip left is to Galway. Next Sunday week is the relatively short trip to Carrick on Shannon but some hardy souls are going to cycle back as well. The cycle is a big fund raiser for the club and they also do a bucket collection outside the grounds. All contributions would be welcomed by the club.
