Leitrim GAA would like to be associated with the many messages of sympathy that have been extended to the Callaghan Family on the recent passing of Seán a native of Lisroughty, Aughawillan, Co. Leitrim.
A former local correspondent of the Leitrim Observer for the greater Aughawillan area over many years, Seán’s writings were a much-awaited weekly regaling of the happenings of his locality but were much more than that. They included commentary and witticisms of such a broad nature that these defined his column and made it one of the more widely read of that era.
Seán also served a term as PRO to his beloved Aughawillan Club and indeed found the time to serve as PRO Coiste Chontae Liatroma CLG from 1987 to 1991.
To his sisters Margo, Mary, Antoinette, Lucy, and Imelda, his brothers-in-law Patsy Smith, John O Callaghan, and James Curren, nephews, nieces, and extended family we convey our deepest sympathies at this sad time.
The late Seán was laid to rest earlier today in the adjoining cemetery to his local St Patrick’s Church, Aughawillan.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

Connacht G.A.A. “Get into Scór” Webinar
ScórCoiste Náisiúnta Scór will be hosting webinars this week to support clubs and counties across the country in promoting Scór na nÓg 2022.
We are delighted that Scór na nÓg 2022 is going ahead in the coming weeks but we are well aware of the huge challenges this may bring. Scór has been one aspect of the GAA that has suffered the most during the pandemic due to restrictions on indoor gatherings. Scór is a celebration of our culture and heritage, showcasing our language, music, stories and dance.
As it has been two years since we last held Scór na nÓg, Coiste Náisiúnta Scór want to offer everyone an opportunity to attend a webinar that will provide support to clubs who wish to enter the competition. Clubs are welcome to join our provincial webinar where we will be able to answer questions and provide any information that is needed for Scór na nÓg 2022. Where clubs are unable to attend our own provincial webinar, they may request a link to attend another one of their choice.
To register for the event, please click here.
