It is with great sadness that we learned on New Year’s Day of the passing of the late Tony McGovern, formerly of Aughavas County Leitrim and London. The late Tony was a most generous contributor to the fundraising efforts of Leitrim GAA over the years. Most recently he, together with his wife Bernadette, made a significant contribution to the aptly named McGovern Aughavas Centre of Excellence in Annaduff, coinciding with the official opening of the facility in September 2019. This generosity has been officially recognised in the awarding of the naming rights on the centre and ensures the McGovern Aughavas name lives on to be associated with the training and nurturing of many present and future county players in all codes and levels.

Indeed the generosity of the McGovern family has not been a recent thing, as Tony’s late brother James, who passed away in January 2023, was the main contributor to the team sponsorship of the Leitrim Senior Football team of 1994 which went on the claim the Connacht Senior Football Championship of that year. The team jersey logo in that era was simply iconic McGovern Aughavas. The following decade saw the development of the new stand facilities at Avant Money Pairc Seán Mac Diarmada and again the McGovern family was a significant contributor to this development. With its official opening in 2007, the stand was given the name McGovern Stand, in honour of their late brother Fr. Andy McGovern.

Across three separate decades, the McGovern Family has been associated with acts of generosity to Leitrim GAA and indeed their home club Aughavas GAA and we are most conscious of recording this at the passing of the most recent family member Tony. We extend our sympathies to his wife Bernadette, son Anthony, and daughters Anita and Tara. Tony is also survived by his brothers Gerry and Tom and extended family members to whom we extend our heartfelt sympathies.

Funeral details will be posted later.

The following article was published by the Leitrim Observer in September 2019 in conjunction with the official opening of the McGovern Aughavas Centre of Excellence in Annaduff.

Leitrim GAA is delighted to announce its new Senior Football Team Main Sponsor for 2024 with the news that Aughnasheelin native Pat Gallagher of the Gallagher Group, a construction company based in Kent, England, has agreed to come on board as the main team sponsor for the next three years.
Pat Gallagher was born and raised in Aughnacullion, Aughnasheelin, Country Leitrim where his family had earned their living by running a country shop and small family farm. In 1966 the family made the huge decision to emigrate to England. At that stage, Pat had completed his secondary education. From his father and grandfather, he would have gained valuable experience, especially with construction and machinery, and also a great work ethic, which would stand him well in later years. Pat was ambitious and it was his singular ambition to eventually own his own business. Through hard work and an enterprising nature commencing with the purchase of a second-hand digger in 1973, he eventually got small contracts in construction, and from this humble beginning a business was born.  The enterprise has gone from strength to strength over the decades and Pat is currently Chairman of the Gallagher Group which is one of the largest and most recognisable family-run businesses in Kent, employing over 500 local people. Starting out, Pat’s ambition was to offer an unrivalled service to his clients, which still holds true to this day, but it wouldn’t be possible without the incredible people that make the group what it is.
Leitrim GAA is most fortunate to have the backing of Pat Gallagher and the Gallagher Group, and looks forward to a successful partnership over the next three years. In conclusion, we wish to also thank our outgoing main senior football team sponsors Seamus and Caitríona Clarke of JP Clarke, New York, for their generosity and loyalty to Leitrim GAA over the past five years.
The Gallagher Group has posted the following response to the Leitrim GAA announcement:

“The Gallagher Group based in Kent England are delighted to partner with the Leitrim GAA Senior football team as the main sponsors from October 2023. The sponsorship is for the next 3 years. We wish Andy, the players and the whole backroom staff our very best wishes for the season ahead, and are sure they will build on their progress over the last few years.

As a proud Leitrim native Pat Gallagher is excited for the future getting behind the team. The Gallagher Group is celebrating 50 years in business during 2023, a leading groundworks, civil engineering and aggregates business based in Kent England with family and community always at the heart of our business. The GAA has a unique way of bringing their communities together in rural Ireland and that is why we are so enthusiastic to get on board and help to drive the Leitrim team forward.”

The official launch of the Gallagher Group sponsorship will take place on Friday evening, October 27th in Lough Rynn Castle at 7pm and all clubs are invited to send representatives.
