Leitrim completed their Fr Manning Cup campaign with a hard fought win over Wicklow in Abbotstown on a score 3- 5 to 1- 9 on Saturday 13th August.
Playing in testing heat conditions Leitrim ,who were favourites to win following their unlucky last minute defeat to Wexford, were made to fight all the way by a strong Wicklow panel.
Leitrim ,who used all of their panel of 24, got off to a strong start and lead 2 -2 to 2pts at the end of the first 20 minute break with the goals coming from Adam Reynolds and James Gilheaney -from a penalty.Gilheaney from Fenagh had a fantastic game through out.
Wicklow were stronger in the 2nd period and added 4 points, with Leitrim’s sole score coming from Josh Mc Namee -a difficult one following a brilliant mark .
The final period was end to end stuff and Leitrim were looking good until a Wicklow goal put them a point in front at 1-7 to 2-3. Leitrim stormed back with several good attacks and Brian Keaney, a younger brother of Paul the St Marys and Leitrim player, finally crashed home a great goal from a rebound. Dara Greenan added a point which was followed by a Wicklow point .
Brian Keaney completed the Leitrim scoring with a fine point. A late Wicklow point wasn’t enough and Leitrim held out for a thoroughly deserving win.
Afterwards the team management and panel reviewed the game and despite a number of key players being absent due to injuries there was great satisfaction that they won the game, while not playing as well as in some of the earlier matches. The key learning from the Wexford game was not to put all efforts into defending when ahead and it paid off.
It was good to talk to Sean Reynolds the St Mary’s goalie who is one of the team mentors and physio. Isn’t it great to see a young player giving his expertise to a younger Leitrim generation. Brendan Delaney, the enthusiastic GDA is full of hope for the Leitrim panels.
It was good to hear more about the revised coaching structures in Leitrim and to learn that in addition to the U16s, the U15’s were playing in the Humphrey Kelleher Shield in Longford while the U 14’s were playing in a Connacht blitz in Ballyhaunis. So in total up to 80 Leitrim underage players were involved in matches on the one day.
The full Leitrim panel was-
1 Liam Crowe MacDiarmada Gaels
2 Frank Cullen Leitrim Gaels
3 Eanna McNamara St Josephs
4 Thomas Maycock St Josephs
5 David li Doyle Gortletteragh
6 Colm McLoughlin Fenagh

The late Patrick McNulty, Rossinver, County Leitrim.
RIPLeitrim GAA would like to offer its condolences to the family of the late Patrick McNulty, Rossinver, County Leitrim, who passed to his eternal reward on Wednesday last. Patrick was a tremendous supporter of his club Melvin Gaels and also the Leitrim GAA County teams. On an annual basis, Patrick travailed the highways and byways of his native North Leitrim area raising funds for the Leitrim GAA Supporters Club. He loved to attend matches at Avant Money Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada and far beyond in support of his native county over the years.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his brother Hugh and extended family and friends. Patrick’s funeral arrangements are located below.
