Allianz Hurling League (Tyrone v Leitrim)

Leitrim hurlers travel to Omagh this Sunday 13th to play Tyrone. Throw in at 2.30pm. The county hurlers are under the new management of Offaly native Cathal Phibbs with Martin Cunniffe,Paddy O Connor and Mickey Dorrigan as selectors.

The 2011 panel includes many new young Leitrim natives who will make their county debut this Sunday. Young hurlers to look out for are Sean Beine of St. Marys, Seamus McTiernan, Declan Ryan and Brian Feeney of Cluainin Iomaint, Paddy McManus and Eamonn Walsh of Ballinamore hurling club.

These young hurlers will hopefully line out with the experienced Kevin McGrath of Gortlettragh Hurling club, Vinie McDermott (St. Marys) and Steve Feeney (Cluainin Iomaint) will no doubt start in defence along with the ever reliable Clement Cunniffe (St. Marys) and Dave McGovern (St. Peregrine) in midfield.

The forwards hoping to get Leitrims scores may include Padraig McWeeney(St. Marys), Micheal Dolan (Cluainin Iomaint), Dermot Kennedy (Gortlettragh Hurling club), Michael Lane (Borrisoleigh) and Eamonn Walsh.

Good luck to the team and management.

Cash on Delivery

Cash on Delivery
This Sunday (13th Feb) there will be a special performance of Drumkeerin Drama Groups Production – Cash on Delivery. The play is taking place in aid of Drumkeerin GAA club.

Last weekend the troupe enjoyed a sell out three-night stint in Drumkeerin Community Centre and Drumkeerin GAA are thankful that they have agreed to add an extra date to their busy schedule to raise some much needed funds for the club. Written by Michael Cooney – Cash on Delivery – is centred around mild-mannered Eric, who has been cheating Social Welfare for years. His scam begins to unravel in chaotic fashion when inspectors show up unexpectedly at his door.

There are some familiar faces from the club involved in the production and everyone who attends will be guaranteed a laugh. The show starts at 8.30pm sharp, on Sunday night in the Community Centre, so be early to avoid disappointment.
