Gallogly Catering ACL Division 1 League Final

Neighbours Glencar Manorhamilton and Melvin Gaels meet in the Gallogly Catering All County Division 1 League Final this Sunday at 2.30pm in Páirc Seán.  

This will be the fourth time this season the two teams have met.  In the Connacht Gold Senior Championship they drew in the group game and in the county final Melvin Gaels halted the Glencar Manorhamilton “Drive for Five” with a powering 2-7 to 0-7 win to lift the Fenagh Cup for the first time since 1998.  In the League they met in the Bee Park back on the 12th of May and on home soil Glencar Manorhamilton emerged victorious with a 1-11 to 2-6 win after a thrilling hours entertainment.

So from three games its a win a piece and a draw between the arch rivals.  The Gaels have brought home the biggest prize of the year – the championship title.  Will they add to their trophy cabinet and do the double or will the Manor men put a halt to the double and gain some measure of revenge for their championship defeat?

BE THERE TO EXPERIENCE THE LATEST MEETING …………………….. WHEN NEIGHBOURS MEET!

AIB Connacht Club Championships

In recent weeks our Senior and Junior Football champions and our Senior Hurling champions were all on provincial club duty in the AIB Club Championships.  Unfortunately, Melvin Gaels in the Senior, Leitrim Gaels in the Junior and Cluainín Iomaint in the Hurling were all defeated in their opening round games.  

Last Sunday Gortletteragh were the last team to fly the Leitrim Flag in McHale Park, Castlebar against Charlestown of Mayo in the AIB Connacht Intermediate Football Championship.  Despite a brave attempt on the day, Gortletteragh came out the wrong side of a 1-13 to 3-15 scoreline.  The  scoreline didnt reflect the closeness of the contest with Charlestown Scóring two late goals.  The Man of the Match Award was rightly awarded to Gortletteraghs Cathal McCrann and well done to Cathal on his terrific performance. 

Gortletteraghs defeat ends Leitrims participation in the Connacht Club Championship for another year.

U12 Blitz Day Postponed

Unfortunately, the U12 Blitz Day scheduled for last Saturday 3rd November was postponed due to the inclement weather. We apologise to all clubs for any inconvenience this may have caused.

For 2013 we will have to look into having this Blitz played earlier in the year and hopefully not be at the mercy of such bad weather.

Scór na mBunscoileanna winners

The 2 nights of Scór na mBunscoileanna took place in Carrick-on-Shannon on Thursday 25th and Ballinamore on Friday 26th last. 
The entries from the schools on both nights had huge crowds in attendance. The standard of performances were a credit to the schools, parents and teachers, the children really promoted the culture and talent of the schools and showed true team spirit cheering on their classmates and waving their banners and posters. A third night is scheduled for North Leitrim schools on Friday 23rd November.
 
The best performance on each night in each event got medals and the Cormac MacGiolla shield for the best overall school will be awarded after the north Leitrim event night.
