Sean Hagan steps down
DevelopmentSeán Hagan steps down
Leitrim team Manager Seán Hagan informed the Executive of Leitrim GAA that he was standing down from his position as Senior team Manager. Chairperson, Joe Flynn, informed the executive at an executive meeting on Friday night specially convened to set in motion team managements for the coming year. Seán cited a number of reasons but mainly that his own business had picked up considerably in recent times a factor that would make it difficult to devote the time such a position would demand. He too expressed concern at the manner of the team’s collapse in their final game with Down in the championship qualifiers and with the commitment of some panel members leading up to this game. He said he had thought long about continuing in this role and had come to the conclusion that it would be best for Leitrim football to now move on .He wished Leitrim GAA the best of luck in the future and enjoyed his time here.
On behalf of Leitrim GAA Chairperson Joe Flynn thanked Seán for his work and enthusiasm over the past year. He alluded to his achievement in winning the FBD cup last January and of their excellent run in the National League just missing out on promotion. He stated that Seán was a gentleman to work with and always available to discuss any issues involving the team. He was passionate about the game and introduced new players to the panel with success. Injuries and the non- availability of experienced players at the end of the year made his position very difficult. Joe wished Seán the very best in both his business ventures and whatever role he would undoubtedly become involved in GAA circles. He concluded by thanking selectors Christy Carroll and Aiden Mc Carron and all involved with the management.

Behind the Leitrim Banner
County FootballBehind the Leitrim Banner
How frustrated our Minor and Senior players must feel this week, together with their Team Managers Enda Lyons and Sean Hagan, their selectors and backroom teams and everyone involved with the teams. Spare a thought too for the Coiste na nÓg and County Board officers who do so much un-acknowledged work in attempting to have every necessary facility provided for the team panels, as well as their busy and mundane work of administration of county and club activity.
Defeat is always a killer and God knows we are well used to it and we could fill retail units with “three cheers” and “hard luck lads”. The young Minor players feel particularly disappointed after the joy of capturing the Connacht Minor League, as most of them would also have tasted success at underage with their clubs and bitter defeat is not something they have grown up with. True, they did not play up to the form expected, but nobody could question their commitment in the build- up or on the day and we have to say Roscommon deserved their victory. We cannot allow such a talented bunch of players as these young Leitrim men to simply fade away from the inter-county scene.
Who honestly expected Leitrim to beat Down in Newry? But no blame can be apportioned to the players who took to the field there, they gave of their best against all the odds. And it must be said that Down did not attempt to do an Armagh on us, as we remember well from last year. They used their six subs, but the heart seemed to have been torn from the lads in the green and gold. Emlyn Mulligan led out a bunch of players who did not want to let the county and its supporters down and we salute Emlyn and his teammates for that.
So there’s lots of talking and debating to be done. One thing that must be done is for the supporters, sponsors, parents, families and clubs to avoid taking the easy path of criticism and to fall in behind the Leitrim banner again next year.
