Ladies News

National League Defeat to Clare: An experimental Leitrim team suffered a heavy loss to Clare in Ballinasloe on Sunday afternoon last. Leitrim never got out of the blocks in the first half as Clare dominated possession and were impeccable in their shooting, aided by a strong wind. Training by 1-14 to a single point at the break, Leitrim improved considerably in the second half and outscored their opponents by 1-4 to 1-3. Again there was a long injury list but Leitrim used the unlimited substitution rule to take a look at all of the players on the panel with a total of twenty four players used during the game. With two losses to date, Leitrim’s next game in the League against Limerick in two weeks time is crucial to Division 2 survival. Limerick lost their opening three games and a win for Leitrim will ensure that Limerick are relegated and Leitrim remain safe and qualify for the quarter finals.

2006 Division 2 League: The first club action of the season will take place in Manorhamilton on Sunday next when the home side entertain St Josephs for a place in the 2006 league final where Annaduff await the winners. The game will take place at 12.30pm.

County Board Meeting: The March meeting will take place on Monday evening next at 9.00pm in Arus Padraig. An executive meeting will take place at 8.15pm.

Golf Classic: A golf classic in aid of the county board will take place on Saturday 16th June in Castledargan. Details to follow later.
