Connacht Tain League – Under 16 Sligo League

Connacht Táin league –
In the Connacht Tain league Carrick hurling looked like they could reach the semi final by beating Bellmullet last Friday night but unfortunately in the dying seconds of the game Belmullet were given a life line when they were awarded a dubious penalty.  The final score saw Carrick going down by a point on a scoreline of 0.11 to 1.09.  Cluainin Iomaint were waiting on this scoreline with bated breath and were more than happy with this result as a win in their game would have sealed the semi final spot for them on Scóring difference.  Unfortunately Western Gaels could not field a team last Saturday and at the time of going to print it looks like Western Gaels will be awarding Cluainin a walk over which means that Cluainin, Carrick and Belmullet will be level on points. If a walk over is given then Scóring difference will not come into play and a three way play off will determine who plays against Castlebar Mitchels in the semi final.  In the other group of the Tain league Ballinamore were unable to play Sylane.
 
Under 16 Sligo league –
Cluainin Iomaint under 16stravelled to Western Gaels in Sligo last wednesday and won on a scoreline of 3.13 to 1.02. Matthew Kerrigan, Andrew Loughlin, Cian Killalea and captain Kieran McPartland worked hard in defence while Christopher Ferguson and Stephen Loughlin commanded midfield Scóring 1.03 between them. Martin Feeney, Damon Beattie, Fergus Munday and Luke Sheirdan created a lot of trouble in the forwards. Damon Beattie finished the match Scóring a massive 1.07. Daithi Cummins and Ferghal Ryan made their debuts for the hurlers and showed great promise. Team and scorers – Peter Poniard, Matthew Kerrigan, Andrew Loughlin, Cian Killalea, Kiernan McPartland (Cpatain) (0.01), Christopher Ferguson (0.02), Stephen Loughlin (1.01), Martin Feeney (0.02), Damon Beattie (1.07) Luke Sheirdan (1.00), Fergus Munday (0.01), Daithi Cummins, Ferghal Rooney.

Leitrim U14 Development Squad

The Leitrim U14 Development Squad took part in the Inter County Hurling Blitz in Carnmore, Galway last Saturday. The team played teams from Sligo, Mayo and Roscommon and with only 15 lads they battled hard and never gave up with excellent displays from Desmond Beirne, Lee Mc Manus, Andrew Loughlin, Stephen Loughlin and Damien Crave. 

The Leitrim U14 Development Squad – Stephen Loughlin, Andrew Loughlin, Peter Poniard, Patrick Mc Tiernan, Keelan Keerins, Conor Gallagher, Darragh Murphy, James Hamilton, Damien Craven, Stephen Flynn, Aaron Hore, Lee Mc Manus, Dessie Beirne, Mark Diffley, Shane Beirne.  

Leitrim Hurling Senior League

So far Gortletteragh, Carrick and Cluainín Iomaint have all won a game each.  Carrick beat Cluainín well in the most recent game to keep alive their chances of reaching the final.  Games yet to be played are Cluainín and Gortletteragh at home and away while Gortletteragh will also have to play their final game against Carrick. 

Dermot Molloy League (Sligo Hurling League)

Cluainín Iomaint completed their involvement in the Sligo Hurling League last week by topping the table for the first time.  Unusually, they had to play a “play off” game against Coolera/Strandhill last Sunday due to the top 5 teams being level on points.  Cluainín already beat Coolera/Strandhill during the league but were “drawn out of a hat” to play again.  It an exciting game where either team could have won, the Sligo side overcame the Manorhamilton men on a scoreline of 1.10 to 0.07. The Manor men were left to dwell on many missed chances where they should have taken their points during the game.  But the Leitrim club can be happy knowing that they raised many eye brows by finishing top of the Sligo Hurling League for 2012.  Cluainín travel to Thurles on Friday week to take part in the Thurles Sarsfields International Hurling Tournament.  We wish them well as they represent Leitrim. 

Feile

We wish Paddy O Connor and Ballinamore the very best in this years Hurling Feile in Dublin.
