Leitrim 0-13
London 0-10

NFL Division 2A

Leitrim grabbed the all-important brace of points they urgently needed to further complicate the closing stages of Division 2A but they were put to the pin of their collar by London.

The game was level eight times as both sides tried might and main to pull away.

With the scores tied at 0-10 each and the game going into time added on Leitrims top scorer Ciaran Duigan took a huge hand in the outcome when he tapped over two meticulous points from play and one from a free during the four minutes that were added on to put Dessie Dolans men in the best possible position for their last game against Monaghan.

But before Leitrim made their winning move, they were given a severe test by London who played their best football of the season.

Leitrim 3-15
Carlow 1-7

LEITRIM turned in a sparkling second-half performance to crush the Managerless and pointless Carlow in an entertaining game in Cloone.

Matters were evenly matched in the opening 18 minutes when the sides traded two points. Brian Kelly put over a pair of Carlow frees, while Fintan McBrien and Declan Maxwell hit the target for Leitrim.

Leitrim edged into a decisive lead by the 27th minute, with James Glancy Scóring a goal while Ciaran Duignan, Shane Foley, Donal Brennan, Fintan McBrien and Gary McCloskey added a point each, all without reply from the visitors.

However, Brian Kelly hit back with four converted frees to leave Carlow trailing by four points, with the half-time score standing at 1-7 to 0-6.

Ciaran Duignan added two Leitrim points from frees in the opening quarter of the second half, before Kelly replied with his seventh converted free for Carlow.

Carlow were right back in contention when Mark Carpenter drove home a well-takenÓgoal in the 50th minute.

However, they failed to score for the rest of the game as Leitrim went on to shoot an unanswered two goals and six points.

Carlow were reduced to 14 players before the finish when Brian Leonard was dismissed for two yellow cards.

ScórERS – Leitrim: D Brennan, J Glancy 1-1 each, P McGuinness 1-0, C Duignan 0-7, D Maxwell, F McBrien 0-2 each, C Regan, G McCloskey 0-1 each. Carlow: M Carpenter 1-0, B Kelly 0-7

Galway ran out convincing winners in a game that Leitrim were chasing from the throw-in. Galways pace and dominance in midfield were the main factors in this rescheduled Championship encounter in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe.

From the off Galway applied the pressure and led 0-3 to 0-2 after 10 minutes. Leitrims goalie Conor Daly had his part to play with 3 excellent saves in the first half. The score at half time was 0-8 to Leitrims 0-3. While there was only 5 points between the sides the Galway team were just getting into their stride.

The Leitrim defence were under pressure for the most of the game and none more so than in the second half. After 10 minutes in with 2 more points in the bag Galway scored their first goal and this put daylight between the teams. Galways dominace took over and they scored a total of 3-12 in the second half to Leitrims 3 points.

The final whistle couldn t come soon enough for Leitrim as the final result read:
Galway 3-20 Leitrim 0-6

Galway now proceed to meet Mayo in the Semifinal next weekend.

The rearranged fixtures for Divisions 3 & 4 are now online. Division 3 is now a 9 team configuration and Division 4 contains 13 teams.

Unbelieveable as it may seem the U21 game was called off within 1 hour of throw-in. This is the 3rd time a Leitrim teams fixture has called at an away venue, twice inÓgalway and once in Ruislip. In fact it could be argued that it is the 4th time considering this weekends fixture change for the Seniors against London.

It is believed that heavy rainfall since 10:30am this morning is the cause of the postponement.

Refixture announced for next Saturday (24th March) at 3:30pm in Ballinasloe.

Following a request by Aughawillan Club to the County Board committee on Monday night there will be a change to the make up of Divisons 3 and 4.

Aughawillan have been placed in Division 3 for the last number of years but they felt that Division 4 would be better suited to that team. They put a proposal forward to allow their team to be regraded into Division 4. This proposal was presented to Club delegates at last Mondays County board meeting. Their proposal was carried and the current structure of Division 3 (10 teams) and Divison 4 (12 Teams) will change to a new 9 Team Divison 3 and a 13 team Divison 4.

This change will necessitate the abandonment of the current fixtures for Divisons 3 & 4 and the redrawing of new fixtures. It is expected that a new plan of fixtures for both Divisions will be announced this coming weekend. It is also expected that Divison 4 will commence on weekend of 24/25 Marta while the Division 3 start date will commence as previously expected on the following weekend – 31 Marta/01 Aibrean.
