LEITRIM MAINTAIN UNBEATEN RECORD IN FR. MANNING CUP
LEITRIM 3-13 SLIGO 2-16
Leitrim Under 16s maintained their unbeaten record in the 2023 Fr. Manning Cup with a hard fought draw against neighbours Sligo at Pairc Sean MacDiarmada earlier today. In what turned out to be a high scoring encounter, Leitrim started the brighter of the 2 teams. Joey McBrien (2), Oisin Conlon (2) and Ruairi O’Rourke had five Leitrim points on the scoreboard in answer to three from the Yeats County after 15 minutes. Leitrim then put together a fast flowing move that culminated with Andrew Lee blasting the ball past the helpless Sligo goalkeeper to give Leitrim a five point cushion.
Sligo were then awarded a penalty which struck the butt of the Leitrim post before they hit a purple patch adding 2-2 without reply over the next five minutes. Josh Sheridan, the Leitrim netminder, was particularly unlucky with the 2nd effort, having initially made a wonderful save before the rebound was dispatched. Joey McBrien added to Leitrim’s tally with a solitary Sligo reply as they entered the final moments of the first half. The last action of the half turned out to be vital for Leitrim as Ruairi O’Rourke pounced on a loose ball and dispatched the ball to the net to leave the minimum between the sides with Sligo leading 2-7 to 2-6 at half time.
The 2nd half was a real topsy-turvy affair with Leitrim regaining the lead through early Senan Bohan and Cormac Moran points. Sligo responded with 3 points of their own to restore a 2 point advantage. Over the next 10 minutes Leitrim added points from Joey McBrien (2) and Peter Moran in reply to 4 efforts from Sligo. With time running out Leitrim continued to press and they will rue some costly misses but Joey McBrien reduced the gap before Sligo restored their 3 point lead. Peter Moran then showed some neat footwork as he danced his past 3 Sligo defenders and slotted the ball past the Sligo goalkeeper to set up a grandstand finish.
Sligo went back into the lead before Joey McBrien responded for Leitrim. The game ended with the home team pressing for a winner but ultimately coming up short as 3 chances went a begging. This was a good performance from an Under 16 squad minus a number of players that were on duty with the Under 17s the previous evening. They will be especially happy with their battling qualities as they fought to the bitter end for loose ball which was the foundation for getting back into the game. This result leaves Leitrim sitting unbeaten with 3 points on top of the table from 2 games played. Leitrim’s final game of the group stages is away to Longford at the end of May.
LEITRIM: Josh Sheridan; Kevin Faughnan; Killian Mulvey; James Hughes; Peter Moran (1-1); Luke Farrell; Cormac Moran (0-1); Luke Fitzsimons; Tadhg Regan; Senan Bohan (0-1); Ruairi O’Rourke (1-2); Gavin Gallagher; Oisin Conlon (0-2); Andrew Lee (1-0); Joey McBrien (0-6).

WINNING START FOR UNDER 15s IN THE HUMPHREY KELLEGHER CUP
LEITRIM 2-12 LOUTH 1-2
The Leitrim Under 15s began their 2023 Humphrey Kellegher Cup campaign in fine style with a dominant display over Louth earlier today in Pairc Sean MacDiarmada. Leitrim came flying out of the blocks as they completely dominated Louth from pillar to post. Leitrim added early points through Jack Attard (2), Conor Reynolds and Louis Quinn to give Leitrim an early 4 point advantage after 15 minutes. 2 wonderful long range Jack Moolick points were complemented by another Jack Attard point to complete the Leitrim scoring in the first half. The highlight of the first half had to be the workrate of these Leitrim youngsters as they kept Louth at bay for the duration of the first half. Half time score: Leitrim 0-7 Louth 0-0.
Leitrim continued in the same manner in the second half. An early point from Caelan Newton was matched by Louth’s first score of the game. Two wonderful passes from Ronan Fox and Conor Reynolds created an opportunity for Senan McGowan as he coolly stepped around the last defender and dinked the ball past the advancing goalkeeper. Louth responded with a fine individual goal and their final score of the game soon followed. Leitrim added points from Jack Moolick and Caelan Newton before a powerful Jack Moolick shot found it’s way to the Louth net. Manorhamilton duo Ronan Fox and Jack Attard rounded off Leitrim’s scoring as they ran out easy winners.
There will be tougher games ahead for these youngsters but if they continue to bring the wonderful attitude and workrate that was in evidence today, they will be a match for any team.
LEITRIM: Rhionn Gallagher; Shane Mayock; Ronan Connolly; Charlie Slevin; Keelan McGurren; Rian Costello; Cillian McWeeney; Jack Moolick (1-3); Thomas Gunn; Louis Quinn (0-1); Ronan Fox (0-1); Karl Gethins; Senan McGowan (1-0); Jack Attard (0-4); Conor Reynolds (0-1). Subs: Caelan Newton (0-2); Ultan McNulty; Emmet Faughnan; Darragh McBrien

The Leitrim squad and officials arrived safely back in Ireland earlier this morning from our Connacht SFC match with New York, played in Gaelic Park, on Saturday night last. While we, obviously, are very disappointed with the result of the game, we wish to express our extreme gratitude to all the supporters who travelled in great numbers to the Bronx and gave the lads great encouragement during the game, and all those who, no doubt, watching it on GAAGO or listening to it on local radio, would have likewise been encouraging and willing the team to victory. We wish to also acknowledge all the help and support we received from the Leitrim Community in New York, led by our team sponsors Seamus and Caitriona Clarke.
The preparation, dedication, and effort put in by all concerned in the run-up to this game was supposed to cumulatively lead to a win and a place in the Connacht semi-final. It wasn’t to be, unfortunately, and we heartily congratulate New York on a historic victory. Their scenes of unbridled joy were in sharp contrast to the desolation felt by our lads at the final whistle. New York have many years of ‘what might have been’ since they first entered the Connacht SFC in 1999, and last Saturday, their long wait for a victory came to an end. We wish them the best of luck in less than two weeks as they prepare to take on Sligo in the Connacht semi-final.
We look forward to the Tailteann Cup, which commences on May 13/14, and we implore anybody with an interest in the promotion of these young lads to maintain positivity over the next number of weeks. It is easy to be critical, and positive criticism is always welcome. Some of what has been posted in the aftermath of last Saturday night makes for difficult reading and, dare I say it, has been made with little thought for those on the receiving end. The pen is mightier than the sword so always bear in mind that our players are dedicated and exemplary young men who give up huge chunks of their time and make tremendous sacrifices in pursuit of an amateur sport that is supposed to be for everybody’s enjoyment. It goes without saying that our team management left no stone unturned and did their utmost to have the lads primed for the match.
All we lost on Saturday night last was a mere game of football. We are very proud of them all as indeed we’re certain are their parents and all the family members associated with them.
Beidh lá eile. Liatroim Abú.

Leitrim began their 2023 Under 16 campaign with a comfortable win over Clare at a windswept Clooneylohan on Saturday. Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, Leitrim dominated the early exchanges. This early Leitrim pressure yielded goals from Joey McBrien and Oisin Conlon before Joey McBrien converted a 20 metre free to leave Leitrim 7 points ahead after 12 minutes. Clare enjoyed a purple patch, tagging on 4 points in row to reduce the margin. Leitrim put together a wonderful move beginning with a Peter Moran interception, involving 5 further players and culminating with a cool finish by Andrew Lee to the Clare net. The first half ended with Clare scoring 1-2 to leave the minimum between the sides at half time on a scoreline of Clare 1-6 Leitrim 3-1.
Leitrim emptied their bench, making 4 changes at half time. The 2nd half proved to be a dominant one for Leitrim as they added a further 15 points (all from play). The clinical nature of the 2nd half performance was highlighted by some wonderful long range shooting, some excellent defending and a point blank save by Josh Sheridan on the one occasion that Clare managed to penetrate the Leitrim back line. On a day when all facets of Leitrim’s play went well, it would be unfair to single out any one player. In general, this was a comprehensive team performance that will have to replicated as the Fr. Manning Cup progresses. The current champions, Sligo, are up next for Leitrim in May.

On the day that Emlyn Mulligan has announced his retirement from the Leitrim Senior Football team, we wish to acknowledge a most stellar career in the Green and Gold over the past 17 years since in debut in the Allianz League of 2006.
From his earliest days with us Emlyn has marked himself out as an attacker of exceptional talent, shooting the lights out over many league and championship campaigns in the intervening years. He has been a role model for many young players, many of whom have grown up to share a Leitrim dressing room with him towards the latter part of his career. His scoring achievements have stood up to scrutiny in any forum across many years.
Captain of the Connacht FBD Winners in 2013 and 2014, he may not have gotten to achieve national titles with his native county, but that did not deter him from making a most magnificent contribution towards the county’s fortunes, despite having to deal with three career-threatening injuries over the course of a stellar career. His Croke Park appearance in the Allianz League final in our promotion year of 2019 was, no doubt, a long overdue personal milestone achieved for a player of his quality. In 2014, he was part of a Connacht Inter Provincial winning team, bridging a gap to the last title won by the province in 1969. He has also helped his native Melvin Gaels Club to Leitrim SFC success in 2012.
Players of this longevity are becoming rarer and Emlyn leaves behind him a host of golden memories for those privileged enough to have seen him play over the best part of two decades. We wish him and his family the very best of luck in the future.

Wexford lost to Laois in the last round in Portlaoise on a scoreline of 1-13 to 1-8. Laois are everybody’s favourites to get promoted so the Wexford performance was a good one away from home. At home they will be very difficult to beat. Wexford consider themselves to be a Division 3 team.
Wexford v Leitrim is never easy. It is seven years (2016) since Leitrim last played Wexford in Wexford.
Leitrim v Wexford 20th March 2022- Final Score -Leitrim 3-9 Wexford 1-11.
The last few meetings between both counties have been ding dong affairs. Last year in Carrick on Shannon substitute Conor Cullen fired to the visitor’s net just before the death. A goal by Darragh Rooney in the first half put Leitrim in the driving seat and they lead by 1 –04 to O-04 at the break. Leitrim maintained a slight edge in the early second half proceedings but Wexford levelled twice and edged ahead with points by Byrne and Shanley. However, a 48th minute Ryan O’Rourke goal for Leitrim and Cullen’s goal near the end gave Leitrim a bigger win than looked likely to happen for long periods in the game.
Due to covid in 2021 Wexford and Leitrim did not play each other as Leitrim played in a group of Antrim Sligo and Louth, and in 2020 Leitrim played in Division 3 and they did not meet.
In 2019 Leitrim beat Wexford in Carrick on Shannon by 3-15 to 0-11 and got promoted under Terry Hyland’s management.
In 2018 it was Wexford’s turn to play in Division 3 and we did not play each other.
In 2017 Wexford beat Leitrim in Carrick on Shannon on a scoreline of 0-16 to 0-14 and Wexford got promoted that year.
It is seven years ago (2016) since Wexford had home advantage against Leitrim and Wexford came out on top on a scoreline of 0-14 to 1-10 against a Shane Ward managed Leitrim team. The sides were deadlocked as the game entered the closing minutes, but Donal Shanley (Wexford) pointed a controversial game-winning free in additional time.
The Leitrim team listed in the match programme was – Brendan Flynn, Mathew Murphy, Niall Woods, Michael McWeeney, Killian McGrisken, Barry Prior, Shane Quinn, Donal Wrynn, Darren Sweeney, Nevin O Donnell, Emlyn Mulligan, Kevin Conlan, Ciaran Gilheaney, Adrian Croal, Brian Mulvey. Leitrim scorers, S Quinn (1-01), N O’Donnell (0-03), C Gaffney (0-02), E Mulligan (0-02), A Croal (0-01), K Conlan (0-01)
Four players from 2016 are still on the Leitrim panel, Donal Wrynn, Shane Quinn, Nevin O Donnell and Emlyn Mulligan. In the 2016 game Nevin O Donnell scored 0-03 , Nevin is sub goalie on the current panel and Shane Quinn scored 1-01 from the left half back position.
Since 2016 Leitrim have played Wexford four times ( 2016,2017,2019 and 2022) winning two and losing two. Who will win next Sunday, that is the question?.
It won’t be easy and will be close but with a bit of luck on our side we will bring home a victory.
