Leitrim Wall – Buy A Brick Campaign – Ideal Christmas Gift
GeneralLeitrim GAA might be small in numbers but we are big on ambition.
The Leitrim GAA Centre of Excellence is a state of the art facility for training all county football, hurling and handball teams, male & female. The Centre is located in Annaduff on the N4, the Dublin side of Carrick on Shannon. The funding to provide the centre has been generated by the BRICK IN THE LEITRIMWALL CAMPAIGN where Leitrim people can record a personalised message on one of the bricks in the wall. The wall can be visited by the general public and is proving a very popular place to visit.
The campaign to date has been a huge success generating income of over € 400,000. The Leitrimwall was featured on the SIX ONE NEWS ON RTE on two occasions. Leitrim Co Board were the first Co Board to undertake this unique fund raising scheme. The McGovern Aughavas Centre of Excellence was officially opened by the President of the GAA in September 2019. The scheme is now the benchmark for other fund raising schemes and is been followed by a number of County Boards & clubs.
Such has been the success of the scheme there are a few remaining bricks ( € 250 & € 500) for sale. So why don’t you put you name or your family name on Leitrim soil by buying your brick today or give a gift voucher of a brick to a family you know.
All funds raised will be invested in the upkeep and improvement of the Centre.

Allianz Football League Update Leitrim v Tipperary
GeneralAs our players and backroom team continue to prepare for Sunday’s Allianz Football League encounter with Tipperary in Avantcard Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada, Leitrim GAA wishes to acknowledge and thank the excellent and professional service provided by Advanced Medical Services at our Centre of Excellence on Wednesday night in the completion of the Rapid Testing Programme for our entire football squad of players and backroom personnel. Unfortunately, as a result of this testing, two additional players have tested positive and have now also also been ruled out of Sunday’s game. There are no close contact issues arising from these positive cases for the remainder of the panel that is available for Sunday. This brings to four the number of players that are unavailable this weekend due to Covid issues. A number of other players, who had been ruled out of last weekend’s match with Down due to close contact issues, have since been cleared to return to the panel for Sunday. We acknowledge the strenuous efforts of our medical staff and all associated with the panel in ensuring that this is the case by following all the correct procedures as laid down in line with GAA and HSE protocols.
We look forward to Sunday’s encounter as we welcome Tipperary to Avantcard Pairc Seán Mac Diarmada.
Allianz Football League Leitrim v Down
GeneralUnfortunately, due to the greater health situation that has gripped the country, Leitrim GAA has found itself having to concede our Allianz League encounter versus Down today. A number of players are awaiting test results and unavailable to travel. Other factors also prevented further players from being available, considering this greater health situation, and in this course of action, we must respect this situation. In summation, we are unable to field a team. We are living through very difficult times in an ever-increasing pandemic situation. Leitrim GAA is acutely aware of the efforts that have been made to get the inter-county season up and running. However, on this occasion, we cannot fulfill this fixture which is regrettable. We are hopeful that our situation will have resolved itself before next weekend’s fixture versus Tipperary.
REVISED TG4 SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
GeneralThere are a number of changes to TG4’s GAA schedule for the week ahead. Below please find the updated schedule.
Sunday 11 October
2.00pm GAA Club Gold
Gaoth Dobhair v Scotstown in the 2018 AIB Ulster Club Football Final.
Gweedore edged out Scotstown by a single point in extra-time to claim their first Ulster Club title in a pulsating encounter at Healy Park. The Gaeltacht club become the first Donegal side to lift the Seamus McFerran Cup in 43 years.
4.20pm GAA Club Gold
Ballyhale Shamrocks v Slaughtneil in the 2020 AIB All-Ireland Club Hurling Semi-Final.
A high scoring match which was played in Páirc Esler, Newry with Derry’s Slaughtneil taking on the Kilkenny and Leinster kingpins who were also the defending All-Ireland champions and, with seven titles, Ballyhale were this competition’s most frequent winners. Commentary by Brian Tyers.
Monday 12 October
7.30pm Laochra Gael – Seánie McMahon
Clare’s Seánie McMahon is the subject of this programme. Between 1994 and 2006 he was regarded as one of the greatest centre backs in the country. During that period he won 2 All Ireland Titles with Clare as well as a ‘Player of the year’ award in 1995, but the road to Croke Park was full of challenges. In 1994, after his poor display against Limerick in the Munster Final, Seánie’s place on the team was under threat and again in 1995 after breaking his collarbone. He retired in 2006 as the highest scoring back ever in the hurling championship.
