3 Champions
Club Football3 Clubs are now celebrating as the Junior A, Intermediate and Senior Championship titles went to new homes for 2007. In the Junior A game Annaduff overcame a strong Carrigallen challenge to win by a goal that was scored in injury time. This was an enthralling high Scóring game that ended Annaduff 2-11 Carrigallen 1-11.
On Sunday in Paric Sean with the stand full to capacity and many supporters around the ground it was the turn of the Intermediate and Senior Finalists.
The Intermediate encounter between Drumreilly and Aughavas failed to live to expectations and Drumreilly wont mind as they maintianed the lead throughout most of the game and will now play in the Senior grade for 2008. See Full Match report by PJ Leddy.
The Senior game was a better affair with St. Marys determined to make amends for last years loss and that they did. Like Drumreilly they also commanded the game once they got in front and always managed to get the points at vital times. Although a few defensive errors almost let Kiltubrid back in contention as a the last few minutes brought back some memories/nightmares for a few on and off the field. See Full Match report by PJ Leddy.
Congratulations to the 3 Champions and commiserations to the losing parties.

Leitrim ladies feature on the double in Croke Park Finals
LadiesLeitrim supporters will have an opportunity to support two teams in the Ladies All Ireland Finals in Croke Park on 23rd September when Kiltubrids Naomi Lee and Linda Tighe line out for London in the Junior Final in the curtain raiser of the three match programme.
While Leitrim were defeating Clare on Saturday, Linda and Naomi were playing in the All Ireland junior semi final against Carlow in Swords and enjoyed a close 4-08 to 3-09 victory to qualify for the final against Kilkenny.
Both Linda and Naomi are no strangers to Leitrim ladies football and enjoyed long playing careers together with Leitrim until their move to London in recent years to study and where they are now both employed. They enjoyed considerable success with Leitrim and were part of the teams that won the Connacht Junior Championship in 1999 and the National Junior League of 2000.
The programme for the finals will be as follows:

From RTE Website :
Programme 9: Aughawillan GAA Club in Co. Leitrim
Theres a saying in Aughawillan that, whenever a babys born in the parish, they always ask, "Is it a boy?". And well they might because Aughawillan is such a tiny parish (in a county that, itself, has a small population) that they need all the potential players they can get, and its the same for the ladies team.
The club was started in 1936, reached senior level in 1939, but suffered due to emigration and died out in 1963. In 1971 it was, again, revived and included players who had moved up to Dublin since 63. One such player is Frank Darcy who, with wife Phil, talks about how they managed, children in tow, travelling to Leitrim each weekend so he could continue to play.
Seán Ó Suilleabháin, a local historian, gives the history of Aughawillan, and also featured is Maeve Quinn, captain of the ladies football team.
The programme also looks at Leitrim county football on the back of the teams Connacht Football Final win the previous year against Mayo (in 1994) – a very special win for them. GAA All-Star Mickey Quinn and Tom Gannon (Leitrim Captain in 1927), talk about what its meant for the county.
Other contributors include: Patsy Prior, team coach; Pat Flanagan, club chairman; Syl McGovern, club secretary; Tommy Moran, Leitrim county board secretary and club member, Des Quinn.
Unfortunately, since this programme was first transmitted, both Syl McGovern and Tom Gannon have died.
