Incoming GAA President Larry McCarthy joins our Latest Interview Series

As we look forward to Saturday’s #LeitrimGAASupportingOthers we offer you the latest in the promotional material that our technical staff has been working hard behind the scenes to produce. This time, our anchorman John Lynch conducts an interview with incoming Uachtarán Larry McCarthy from his New York base. We have a very strong connection with New York at the moment as Caitríona and Seamus Clarke of JP Clarke’s, of course, are the current Leitrim Team Sponsors. Also participating is Leitrim Senior Team Manager Terry Hyland.

Uachtarán Tofa CLG Larry McCarthy shares an insight into what the New Yorkers are currently experiencing as regards the COVID-19 Pandemic outlining the harrowing situation experienced on the ground and the effect this crisis is having on the Irish in New York, particularly in relation to the unemployment crisis. He acknowledges the huge connection that New York currently experiences with Connacht GAA and stresses the important role the GAA plays in fundraising at this time. This is reinforced by Terry Hyland who stresses the importance of Leitrim’s involvement in raising awareness of the New York situation as it currently stands. Sláinte 202o is the organisation that is spearheading the New York aid package on behalf of Irish people. We are very pleased that Larry McCarthy accepted the invitation to appear on this broadcast. As always we thank John Lynch for anchoring this production.

We look forward to the support of all Leitrim people on Saturday in what should prove to be an uplifting experience for all Leitrim people both near and far!

The proceeds of Saturday’s fundraising will be Sláinte 2020 and Pieta House. This evening, almost €6k of the €10k target has been reached and it continues to grow steadily.

Leitrim players and manager have a special message for supporters

Our host John Lynch interviews Leitrim Manager Terry Hyland and players Ryan O’Rourke and Paddy Maguire in advance of this Saturday’s fundraiser for New York’s Slainte 2020 campaign and Pieta House. Members of the public are asked to participate in the event over the weekend by raising sponsorship and to enjoy the fun as you wear and share your Leitrim colours with pride.

The current players and many elder lemons will  be linking in with family/friends both near and far to sponsor them so please give generously – all proceeds go to two very worthy charities that are close to Leitrim peoples hearts.  Keep an eye out for many famous faces of the past as they appear on our social media channels over the next few days asking for your support.

A special facebook page is operational here at Leitrim GAA – Supporting Others and ready for all the pics and the GoFundMe page for donations is accessible now if you wish to donate here.  Over €5,000 has already been raised with thanks to many donors and we aim to achieve the €10,000 target.
