Leitrims two representatives at the All Ireland Scór na nÓg Finals – Glencar/Manorhamilton in Rince Foirne and James Hazlette were both unsuccessful at the Finals in Athlone on Saturday last.

Indeed the only Connacht success came in Trath na gCeist where Roscommons Ballinameen took the title after many years of trying. They scored full marks as did Boherbue from Cork. There followed two rounds of tie-breakers and Ballinameen answered all of their questions again.

Rince Foirne: Glenflesk, Ciarraí
Amhranaíocht Aonair: Shamrocks Uíbh Fháilí
Ceol Uirlise: Millstreet, Corcaí
