Kellogg’s GAA Cúl camps
This year there are some exciting changes to the kit, with a stylish new half zip top and T-shirt replacing the original jersey, togs & socks. The backpack is still part of the new kit, while the cost of attending the camps remains the same as the last number of years. On-line registration is now available and we would encourage parents to use this method of registration if convenient as it greatly helps with assigning coaches etc to the camps. Standard application forms will be available through the schools from next week.
The following are the dates and venues for the Kellogg’s GAA Cúl camps 2015 in Leitrim.
W/C – 06/07/2015 – Manorhamilton, Ck-on-Shannon, Ballinamore & Mohill

The late Michael Martin Aghadark Ballinamore RIP
GeneralThe late Michael Martin, Ballinamore. RIP
Coiste Chontae Liatroma CLG and Leitrim GAA followers join in mourning the death of former Ballinamore and Leitrim football star and noted Gael, Michael Martin, Aghadark, Ballinamore.
We extend sincere sympathy to his wife Annette, daughters Susan, Louise, Caroline and Aideen, sisters Carrie, Joan and Evelyn, sons-in –law, brothers –in –law, sisters-in-law, his beloved grandchildren, uncle, nephews, nieces and other relatives on their very sad loss.
Michael won six Leitrim Senior Championship medals with Ballinamore in 1967, ‘68, ‘ 69, ‘72, ’73 and 1975 and was team captain in the 1973 final. As well, he also won a number of County League titles, together with numerous club tournaments. When the Ballinamore three-in –row team made an historic visit to play New York in gaelic Park in 1969, Michael was one of the main organisers and one of the star players on that trip.
During the 1960’s, Michael was a regular on the Leitrim senior team, his usual position being left half back, the same as had been held by his famous footballing uncle, Mike Dillon of Cloone, Leitrim and New York. When Leitrim reached the 1967 Connacht Final against Mayo, Michael was selected to partner Terry Blessing of Aughavas at midfield. Whether lining out with his club or county, Michael Martin could always be depended on to give of his all and had great pride in his jersey.
Michael will repose at his home on Tuesday June 9th from 11am to 4pm, with removal to St. Patrick’s Church, Ballinamore, arriving at 7pm. His funeral mass will be celebrated at 12 noon on Wednesday, with burial in Oughteragh Cemetery.

Following last weekend’s victorious trip to Birmingham, where the Leitrim Hurlers had a great victory over Warwickshire, it’s back to home soil again tomorrow as the lads face Lancashire in Ballinamore with a 2.30pm throw in.
Buoyed up by last week’s result we are hopeful of a home victory which would set up nicely a final round match on Saturday 23rd in Enniskillen versus Fermanagh.
In any event it’s one day at a time and for the moment let’s wish the team and management the very best of luck in tomorrow’s encounter.
