Its all action this weekend for Seniors, Intermediates and Junior A and Cs as it gets near the final stages in each competition. Our second ever Club Championship game under lights will be played tomorrow evening in Cloone. Junior Cs – Sean O Heslins play Aughnasheelin at 8:15pm.
The [b]Seniors[/b] are at the final round of the group stages and the remaining places will be decided for the Quarterfinals and B Shield. Tomorrow evening will bring us all the answers as the last 2 games of the group stages start at 6:30pm.
In SFC Group 1: Allen Gaels v Fenagh-St. Caillins
With Bornacoola already through in this group the outcome of this game will decide the final placings for 1st and 2nd. If Fenagh win they have a chance to top the group especially if their score difference is better than Bornacoolas. AllenÓgales need to win this as a draw is all that Fenagh need to progress to meet opposition from Group 2 in the Quarters.
In SFC Group 2: Aughawillan v Glencar-Manor
Annaduff are out of the running for this years championship honours and this game will serve to decide the placings for Group 2. Both Aughawillan and Glencar-manor are flying at the moment and each will be eager to top the group to face the 2nd placings inÓgroup 1.
In SFC Group 3: Melvin Gaels v Mohill
Melvin Gaels meet Mohill in an encounter that is a must win for Melvin Gaels and the result of this game will also determine whether Kiltubrid will progress to quarter finals or if they take the B Shield route. If Mohill draw or win then Kiltubrid are through, if Melvin Gaels win by less than 8 points then they are through with Mohill and if Melvin Gaels win by more than 8 points then are throught with Kiltubrid.
In SFC Group 4: Sean O Heslins v St. Marys
In this group Sean O Heslins and St. Marys are already through to the Quarters however this game will decide their placings. St. Marys go in as favourites and will probably be looking to top the group as they will then play the second place team inÓgroup 3. Gortletteragh already know their fate and are preparing for a B Shield semi-final showdown with the losing team from Group 3.
[b]Intermediate[/b] Championship is also at the final group stages. Tomorrow evening sees 1 game with the other 3 games played on Sunday.
In IFC Group 1: St. Marys v Gelncar-Manor
This has the potential of being a really exciting game as Drumkeeran are top of the table and straight through to Quarters while both of these have it all to play for with the 2nd place going a begging.
In IFC Group 2: Ballinaglera v Glenfarne/Kilty
Both teams are already through so this one will decide the placings. Ballinaglera have a 3 poitn score advantage over Glenfarne going into this game..
In IFC Group 3: Cloone v Drumreilly
Carrigallen can rest easy this weekend as Cloone and Drumreilly battle for the last place. Drumreilly already have one point from their earlier draw with Carrigallen but they are not there yet as Cloone play their 2nd game to determine their future. A draw for Drumreilly will suffice, Cloone need all the points.
In IFC Group 4: Aughnasheelin v Aughavas
Dromahaire are also resting this weekend as they are already through to the next stage. Both Aughnasheelin & Aughavas have come a cropper to Drumreilly but all of that will be forgotten as they both fight it out to decide 2nd place.
In the [b]Junior A[/b] competition the 2 semi finals are arranged for Sunday after the quarter final battles last weekend. At 11am Annaduff play Sean O Heslins and at 1pm Eslin play Melvin Gaels.
[b]Junior C[/b] is also at the Semi Final stage with both games scheduled for Saturday evening. St. Osnats take on St. Marys in Drumshanbo and Aughnasheelin meet neighbours Sean O Heslins [b]in Cloone under lights ![/b]. Both games should be entertaining and worth watching.

TG4 All Ireland Junior Semi Final – Report
LadiesTG4 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)

Ladies Intermediate 9 a Side Final
Club FootballLadies Intermediate 9 a Side Final
St Marys 3-05
Glencar Manor 1-05
St Marys celebrated a rare ladies adult title in Drumshanbo on Sunday morning as they defeated a weakened Glencar Manor team in the final of the 9 a side league. It was a deserved title for Marys who worked hard throughout the game with the accuracy of Ceara Firzpatrick, the defending of Lorraine Guckian and the workrate of the McWeeney sisters a feature of the game. Glencar Manor were without the Cleary sisters and injuries to Grainne O?Connor and Siobhan Feehily did not help their cause but Mary Poinard had a fine game in the middle and was supported well by Emer O?Connor and Marie Clerkin.
Glencar Manor attacked first and had a goal chance blocked well by Lorraine Guckian in the first minute. Two minutes later Lauraine Walpole hit a shot wide as St Marys began to settle into the game. Sinead McWeeney was unlucky as she hit a first time shot narrowly wide. After six minutes St Marys were awarded a 45 and a quick one two resulted in an unstoppable shot to the net by Michelle Glancy. Two minutes later Ceara Fitzpatrick opened her account with a good point from play and she was involved in another attack a minute later but her shot hit the crossbar and was cleared to safety. With Sinead McWeeney dominating midfield her sister Cait hit a fine point from play to put St Marys further in front at the half way stage. Glencar Manor had a chance to open their account but Marie Clerkins shot went narrowly wide. With eight minutes remaining St Marys went eight points up as Enya McWeeney hit a second great goal from distance. Glen Car Manor responded immediately when a great ball over the top to Siobhan Feehily was hit over for a fine point. Two minutes later Catriona Love was on hand to hit the net as Bernadette Glancy found a Feehily effort too hard to control to bring Manor back into the game. St Marys had three chances to increase their lead at the break but a combination of poor finishing and good defending kept the score at 2-2 to 1-1 at the break.
St Marys went further in front at the restart with a Fitzpatrick free. Sub Ciara Watters reduced the lead with a point from play and a free as Manor were dealt a blow with an injury to Siobhan Feehily. With Manor gaining more confidence a great defensive display from Lorraine Guckian prevented two certainÓgoals with some great tackling. Fitzpatrick added to her tally midway through the half with another pointed free. A combination of Glancy in the goals and Guckian prevented another certain Manor goal as on the counter attack Fitzpatrick hit another point from play. With five minutes remaining Fitzpatrick sealed a good personal performance with a fine goal from play. Glencar Manor tried hard in the last few minutes to rescue the game and were rewarded with two points from Janette Maguire and Dympna Boylan but it was too little to late as St Marys celebrated a rare title.
St Marys: Bernadette Glancy, Lorraine Guckian, Cait McWeeney, Claire Greene, Michelle Glancy, Sinead McWeeney, Niamh Flynn, Ceara Fitzpartick, Enya McWeeney.
Glencar Manor: Claire Gallaghe, Aisling Kerrigan, Emer O?Connor, Grainne O?Connor, Mary Poinard, Marie Clerkin, Lauraine Walpole, Siobhan Feehily.
