Tommy Murphy Cup – Quarterfinals – Short Report
Leitrim v Tipperary
Sat 29th July, Semple Stadium, Thurles
Leitrim are through to the Tommy Murphy Semis on Aug 12th after a comprehensive win over Tipperary. Leitrim played the better football throughout and were leading 0-8 to 0-3 points just before half time when Tipperary came back and scored a goal to make it 0-8 to 1-3.
In the second half Leitrim maintained their lead and ran out eventual winners with a 5 point advantage. This win is much welcomed by all after the recent heartbreak of losing to Mayo and Sligo by 1 point in each game in the All Ireland Series.
Carlow and London play tomorrow and the winners will play Leitirm on August 12th, the time and venue will be announced at a later date.
Final score: Leitrim 0-14 Tipperary 1-06

The 2,500 Seater Stand in P?irc Se?n Mac Diarmada is now at contract stage and it is anticipated that the works will commence later this summer. It is hoped to have a new stand and full facilities in place for the start of next years National League.
The County Training facilities in Annaduff is ready to go to tender stage and the completed project will incorporate two all weather training fields and associated buildings including indoor training and handball areas.
(This) very popular county website has recently received a face lift and has had many useful features added to it including a calendar outlining up and coming events. The site attracts 1,000?s of visitors each week and one of the most popular sections is on the player profiles. By the end of the summer it is hoped to have a complete list of all County players including Ladies, Underage and Hurling added to the current list of Senior footballers.
The Presidents visit is an endorsement of the work being carried out by the County Board on behalf of the players and supporters of Leitrim GAA.
All clubs and club officers are invited to attend as Mr Kelly will meet all GAA officials including county board officers and sub committee members.
Following the three launch?s the evening will finish with a social event in Cox?s Steakhouse Dromod where entertainment will be provided.

The recent bad weather has taken its toll as its possible that only 3 games out of 11 club games will proceed this weekend.
As of this morning (Sunday) only 1 league game will go ahead between Bornacoola and Sean O Heslins and Ballinaglera and Annaduff
This will put added pressure on the GAC as they have to schedule in the region of 465 fixtures for Clubs in 2007 of which approximately 366 are league games.
The County Senior game against Longford will definately go ahead after a pitch inspection earlier this morning.
