Patsy Prior, Aughawillan, RIP

Course Chontae Liatroma CLG wish to express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the late Patsy Prior.

A very talented footballer, Patsy won eight Senior Club Championships, six with Ballinamore Seán O’Heslins and two with his native Aughawillan. He also captained Aughawillan of a JFC title in 1960 and was a member of the reformed Aughawillan team that won a JFC in 1974. He was a playing member of the 1976 and 1978 Aughawillan SFC winning teams. In the years that followed, he went on to win a further five county titles with Aughawillan as manager, including the famed 3 in a row teams of 1992-94.

In 1974 he was named Leitrim Club player of the year.

Patsy played on the Leitrim Senior team from 1957 to 1962. In 1958 he was the joint top scorer in the national League and in 1962, he won a Connacht Junior title.

In 2016, these many achievements were acknowledged when he was named as the recipient of the Jim Lynch Hall of Fame Award.

Leitrim GAA extends its heartfelt sympathies to Patsy’s sons, Peter and Patrick, his daughter Regina and the members of his extended family.

Leitrim Handball Smitten with Connacht Success on Valentine’s Weekend

It was a St Valentine’s weekend to remember for Leitrim Handball, with players capturing two Connacht titles at both adult and juvenile levels.
Leitrim’s Connacht triumph began on Saturday afternoon when Fenagh’s Ed Lee claimed the 2026 Connacht Ruby Masters Singles title. Ed overcame a familiar rival, Mayo’s Micheál Heraty, in a thrilling 21–9, 17–21, 11–7 victory. The match, played at St. Coman’s Handball Club in Roscommon, marked the first time Ed had managed to overturn Micheál in 40×20 grade, bringing the Connacht title back to Fenagh.
Attention then switched to Collooney on Sunday lunchtime, where the Connacht Juvenile A finals were decided. Leitrim’s focus was firmly on the Boys U15 Singles final, with Annaduff’s Maxim Gilmartin taking on Roscommon’s Eoin Grehan from across the Shannon in Kilglass. These two rivals, familiar from recent school competitions and tournaments, did not disappoint.
Maxim shot out of the blocks in the first game, taking an early lead from serve and never letting it slip, displaying brilliant focus and skill throughout. Any thought that the Annaduff man would run away with the match was quickly quashed in the second game, as Grehan surged to an early 6-point lead. Maxim responded with determination, pulling the game back to 6-all. Spectators were treated to scintillating rallies, with both players battling for every score.
Momentum seemed to swing in Maxim’s favour as he reached match point, but Grehan’s resilience and some brilliant fast kill shot scores brought the game to the edge. After several tense exchanges of serve, Maxim unleashed a silky shot to seal the game and clinch the Connacht U15 Singles title for Leitrim.
The U15 final marked the culmination of Leitrim’s involvement in this weekend’s Juvenile finals, with four county players competing. Well done, but hard luck, to Annaduff’s Adam Neary, who reached the u15 singles semi-final before bowing out on Saturday.
It wasn’t to be this year for Drumshanbo’s Mark McShera and Manorhamilton’s Sadhbh Smith, who competed in the U14 Connacht A Championships in Bofield on Saturday morning. While results didn’t go their way, both represented their clubs and county with great commitment.
The Manorhamilton doubles duo of Cormac Scarff and Tadgh Kirwin will have to wait another week to determine their fate, as their U17 doubles final has been deferred until next weekend.
Congratulations to all our players of every age for their dedication, skill, and efforts on the court. With Ed Lee securing the Masters title and Maxim Gilmartin claiming the U15 crown, Leitrim Handball enjoyed a memorable Valentine’s weekend of gold for both youth and experience.

County Leitrim Cumann Na mBunscol  Final’s 2026

Fenagh Handball Alley hosted the 2026 instalment of the Leitrim Cumann na mBunscol Finals on Sunday afternoon, with eight schools from across the county taking part. Boys’ and girls’ singles and doubles competitions were contested in the Under 11 and Under 13 age groups.
For many of the children, this marked their first competitive outing, and all participants displayed impressive levels of skill, confidence and sportsmanship throughout the day. Their schools and local handball clubs can be justifiably proud of their performances.
Continuing the growth seen in recent years, another school was represented at this year’s event. Daniel Noone, who trains with Fenagh Handball Club, lined out for Leitrim Village NS in the Boys Under 11 Singles competition.
The highlight of the day was the Boys Under 11 Singles final, where Senan Prior-Kellegher of Drumcong NS and Daniel Noone of Leitrim Village NS went toe to toe in a closely fought contest. The match was decided by the final ace in the tiebreak game, which swung the result in Senan’s favour. Both players showed remarkable strength and composure in returning the ball, particularly given their young age.
There was further drama in the Boys Under 13 Singles final, where Ronan Siebert of Gaelscoil Chluainín was pushed all the way by Dylan Nolan of St Patrick’s NS, Drumshanbo. Nolan started strongly and took the opening game, but Siebert responded well, forcing a tiebreaker before pushing on to secure the title.
Annaduff NS, which had the largest number of pupils competing on the day, enjoyed success in the boys’ doubles competitions. Their Under 11 pairing of Liam Cox and Conor Creegan, along with their Under 13 duo Dáire O’Mahoney and Alex Beirn, produced strong performances to claim both doubles titles.
In the girls’ competitions, Fenagh’s Abbie Kane impressed in the Under 11 Singles final, while the Drumcong NS pairing of Doireann McKiernan and Eimer Ní Thiaráin delivered an assured display to take the Under 13 Doubles title.
Many thanks to all the coaches, parents and teachers who prepared the children so well for the finals, and to Fenagh Handball Club for hosting the event and ensuring it ran smoothly on the day.
The winners will now go on to represent their schools and Leitrim at the Connacht Cumann na mBunscol Finals, which take place later this month in Collooney, Co Sligo.
