Ladies News

Cumann Peil na mBán Liatroma

Our Senior team are back in action on Sunday Last against Wicklow where they lost by the narrowest of Margins, that being a point. The final score was 4-11 to 4-10. The girls were behind after a quick start from Wicklow but dug deep and fought back. Unfortunately for the ladies this was not good enough and they ended up on the wrong side of the score. It was great to see many young players making such an impact on the game which can only help the Leitrim Ladies in the future.
They are out in action again on Sunday against Down in Saval Co Down on Sunday 3rd April. As usual support would be appreciated.

Leitrim v Carlow Preview

Leitrim will be hoping to continue their winning run this Sunday as they entertain Carlow in Round 7 of the Allianz League. 

All roads lead to Pairc Sean this Sunday as Leitrim footballers host Carlow in Round 7 of the Allianz Football League.  Throw in time is 2.30. 

Leitrim recorded a hard fought victory over neighbours Fermanagh last weekend and will be hoping to put back to back victories together on Sunday.  Leitrim showed tremendous battling qualities last weekend and they were really encouraged by the vocal support they got from the Leitrim fans. 

Leitrim and Carlow are currently mid-table with Leitrim in 4th place on 6 points and Carlow in 5th place on 5 points so a close contest is expected.  A defeat for either side will almost certainly end their promotion hopes.

As this is the teams last home game in the Allianz League we are urging the Leitrim supportes to come out in force again to get behind the team.  The weather forecast is good so where better to be than Pairc Sean in pictoresque Carrick on Shannon. 

Lets hope after Round 7 well be in 7th Heaven!
