Championship Weekend Update-

Championship Weekend Update:

It was a busy weekend as we had 6 Championship games in various categories in 4 locations.

The first game of the weekend was the Senior RelegationÓgame betweenÓgortletteragh and Fenagh St. Caillins which was played in Cloone at 4:30pm. Gortletteragh were pipped at the post by 1 goal and are relegated for the 2007 season. The final result Gortletteragh 0-12 Fenagh St. Caillins 1-12.

In the first of the Senior semifinal competitions it was all square between St. Marys and Allen Gaels in Cloone on Saturday evening on a nailbiting scoreline of 0-11 each. The replay is scheduled for next Saturday at 5pm in Cloone and extra time will be played if necessary.

Meanwhile in Bornacoola the Junior A final between Annaduff and Eslin was postponed due to a water logged pitch. There was a torrential downpour shortly before the game was due to throw-in and rendered the pitch unplayable. This game is rescheduled for Sat 7th Oct in Bornacoola at 5pm.

Yesterday the Intermediate Semis got under way with Carrigallen winning by 4 points over Drumkeeran and Drumreilly beating St. Marys by 6pts.

In the second Senior Semifinal it was heartbreak for Bornacoola as the game was won by Mohill in the 3rd minute of injury time. They scored the winning goal with the last kick of the ball as the game looked to be going for a replay.

The Intermediate final between Drumreilly and Carrigallen will now be played in Cloone before the Senior Final on 8th October at 2:30pm. While Mohill await to see who their opponents will be in the Senior final which will throw-in at 4:15pm.

Team Managers for 2007

At the recent meeting of Coiste Chontae Liatroma, clubs were informed that they would have an opportunity to nominate suitable personnel, one each, to manÓge the Liatroim [b]Under 21[/b] Team 2007 and Liatroim [b]Junior[/b] Team 2007. It was also confirmed that Des Dolan will remain as Manager for the 2007 season, he will also be partnered by Pat Prior. Declan Bohan has decided to step down as selector after 5 years of service to this very demanding post.

The clubs must now fill this one position with two personnell ! Both of the successful persons will act as selectors on the Senior team and complete the management team along with Des Dolan and Pat Prior. Each of the successful nominees will have overall charge of their particular team and have the remaining three of the senior management as selectors to the particular team.

It is imperative, and the point was stressed at the meeting of Coiste Chontae Liatroma, clubs should not nominate a person without at first seeking their permission to be nominated.

Nomination forms are now with the Club secretaries.

Foundation level courses will be run as requested by clubs and can be regional or club based depending on numbers.

Under 17 development Squad.
It is planned to set up an under 17 development squad early in October. This squad would then help form our minor squad for 2007. It would be envisaged that those in charge of this squad would form the minor management for 2007. If this is acceptable to the Board we would hope that a management team could be put in place now rather than at the start of 2007 and be ratified at a special meeting if necessary.

Ladies Success
Finally congrats must go to our ladies on reaching the All Ireland Junior final. All involved in coaching wish them well in the final.

TG4 All Ireland Junior Semi Final – Report

TG4 All Ireland Junior Semi Final

Leitrim 1-17 Longford 1-8

The TG4 All-Ireland ladies junior football final will be an all Connacht affair after Leitrim set up a meeting with neighbours Sligo following a semi-final victory over Longford at Hyde Park on Saturday.
Leitrim produced a sensational second half performance to overwhelm a Longford side who were looking good for the first twenty minutes of the game. Longford, minus star player Sharon Treacy because of injury, led 1-5 to 0-6 at half-time with the goal coming from a 20th minute Denise Murtagh penalty. The Leinster side started the second half positively and points by Murtagh and Edel Quinn extended their advantage to leave a goal between the sides after 34 minutes. However, they failed to score again until the 53rd minute during which time a rampant Leitrim side hit 1-9 without reply. Leitrim were simply unstoppable during that period ? winning pretty much every ball and Longford couldn?t get outside their own 45 metre line.
Sinead Quinn started the Scóring spree with a 36th minute point to leave it 0-7 to 1-7. Quinn and Mary McKeown tagged over a point apiece inside the next two minutes to leave the minimum between the sides before Lorraine Brennan rattled home the all important goal. The Cloone girl gathered possession just around the 14 metre line and as she ran through she unleashed an unstoppable shot to the top right hand corner of the Longford goal in the 40th minute.
It was the first time Leitrim led in the match after chasing Longford from the off but once they took control there was only ever going to be one winner. Player of the match Eimear McGlade, Quinn (3), Aoife Kelly and Maeve Quinn all scored points over the next seven minutes to put Leitrim out of reach with a 1-15 to 1-7 lead in the 52nd minute. A converted free by Murtagh ended Longford?s drought a minute later but it was too little too late as Mary McKeon and Ann Marie Cox added further points to ensure a well deserved win.

Leitrim: Louise Loughlin, Emer Kelly, Sinead Brennan, Mairead Stenson, Teresa Mylott, Eimear McGlade (0-2), Amanda Sweeney, Maeve Quinn (0-1), Sarah McLoughlin, Mary McKeon (0-2), Lorraine Brennan (1-0), Sharon Kerrigan (0-1), Aoife Kelly (0-2), Sinead Quinn (0-6), Ann Marie Cox (0-3) Subs: Carla Creegan for Amanda Sweeney, Anna Conlan for Sharon Kerrigan, Emer Horan, Alanah Bohan, Erin Farrell, Naomi Faughnan, Phillipa Maguire, Camilla McDonagh, Lisa McGowan, Michelle McNulty, Claire Owens, Eilis Quinn.

LONGFORD: M Kilkenny; S Moran, M Carrigy, M McElvaney; A Matthews, Y Barden, D Leavy; S McGowan, AM Bratten (0-1); F Farrell, E Powell (0-1), E Dooley; C Delaney, E Quinn (0-1), D Murtagh (1-5, 3f, 1 penalty). Subs: S Gilligan for Matthews (26 mins); C Hannon for Farrell (42 mins)
REFEREE: E Jones (Tyrone)

The second half was all Leitrims as they ladies blitzed the Longford defence and clocked up 1 goal and several points without reply. Even with 15 minutes to go the writing was on the wall for the Longford team. Leitrim finished the game on a high with the final score line 9 points in Leitrims favour.

Leitrim 1-17 Longford 1-08

The excellent Leitrim Ladies are now through to the TG4 All Ireland Junior Final in Croke Park in a few weeks time (Sunday, Oct 1st) where they will play neighbours Sligo.
