This weekend we hope our supporters will vacate the armchairs

Anois teacht an Earraigh 

St. Brigid seems to get things moving. Her feast, on the first day of Spring, is a sort of a benchmark for brighter evenings, a return to growth and a general air of anticipation and hope. It is a time of optimism, when we trust that things must surely get better.

The footballers of Leitrim and Limerick will certainly be party to such thoughts. They know last year’s League and Championship are now just another part of GAA statistics, from now on it is a whole new ball game. We can all dare to dream.

Long odds are given by the bookies on either county bringing home Sam, even on nabbing a provincial crown, but heads won’t be down. It all starts on Sunday, the first step in really gauging their place in the pecking order. Two points would be a nice start in what is a very competitive Division IV of the Allianz League. No point in finishing mid-table, or worse still, towards the bottom. The only way is up. A step into Division III would be a nice little marker for the rest of the year and would make the bigger guns take notice. More importantly it would be a morale booster for the players who have been slogging it out in training over the past weeks, when the rest of us cosied up and flicked through the sporting channels.

But this weekend we hope our supporters will vacate the armchairs and flock to Pairc Sean and make a vote of confidence in their team. It is a big day for both Leitrim and Limerick, much more than just two Allianz League points.

For the young home followers there is a special attraction ‘ a half time draw for girls and boys to win Leitrim jerseys and also garner a coaching session for their school by a member of the county team. Why not have our own role models and footballing heroes!    

And don’t forget to check out our gallery section for a copy of the match poster.  Photographs from the game will be available on Monday.

Leitrim Supporters Club launch in the Herbert Park Hote

The Leitrim Supporters Club launch in the Herbert Park Hotel on Thursday night was an outstanding success. It had everything with a wonderful setting, compliments of the Mc Sharry Brothers Manorhamilton; a full house augmented by a bus from Leitrim; one supporter, Johnny McGovern and his wife even came from Ardara Co Donegal and great craic as Leitrim people from every parish renewed friendships and exchanged hopes for Leitrim’s fortunes in 2012.

Des Cahill did the honours and expressed his delight with the complimentary 25 year highlights DVD produced by Brian Blake, which every purchaser of a Supporters’ Club ticket will receive.

Joe Flynn expressed the mood of the audience in remembering the late Andrew Dolan. He had lots of positive news for the eager audience including the developments in coaching and the involvement of many former county players with the county teams. The great news that the Centre of Excellence in Annaduff will be ready for 2013 was warmly received.

Barney Breen and George Dugdale briefed the audience on the senior team preparations for 2012.  Everyone present was very impressed with their professionalism and passion for their roles.  They made a strong appeal for help with employment for some of the panel without work.  This is a huge issue and everyone there was cognisant of the fact that some many of the team which beat Sligo were now abroad. Hopefully some of them will be able to return before too long.

Long standing former Chairman Eamonn Duignan was presented with a gift from the Dublin Committee by Joe Layden for his incredible and outstanding contribution to the Leitrim GAA Supporters Club over 25 years.

Speaking afterwards Killargue native Michael Feeney, the new Dublin Branch Chairman, said he was thrilled with the big turnout and the really positive vibes from everyone. He is appealing to Leitrim people everywhere to once again join the Supporters Club for 2012 and keep the Leitrim flag flying.  James Molloy’s photographs from the event are available here.
