All Ireland Club Final
GeneralCoiste Chontae Liatroma extend best wishes to St Brigids from Roscommon who contest the All Ireland Senior Club Football Final in Croke Park on St Patricks Day.
In Connacht, St Brigids accounted for Eastern Harps (Sligo) in the preliminary round and our ownÓglencar Manorhamilton in a thrilling semi final played in Pairc Sean. In the Connacht Final they defeated Killererin (Galway) after extra time in another thrilling game. They defied all the odds to reach the All Ireland Final when they defeated a much fancied Nemo Rangers (Cork) two weeks ago and now face Crossmaglen Rangers (Armagh) in the St Patricks Day decider.

Allianz Football League – Division 4 Roundup
Club FootballLongford gained a valuable point when they drew with Wicklow in Aughrim today and this sees them sit proudly on top of Division 4 with Wicklow currently in 2nd place.
Roscommon (still with a game in hand over the top two) were 3 points winners over Fermanagh in Kiltoom minus the St Brigids contingent who contest the All Ireland Club Final on St Patricks Day.
As can be seen from the table, the top 3 are beginning to put some daylight between themselves and the chasing pack but 4th placed Leitrim do have two games in hand over the top two.
Next weekend Leitrim host neighbours Fermanagh in Pairc Sean and if Leitrim have any hope of challenging for promotion – this is a must winÓgame.
