Website update-

As part of our ongoing process to improve our site the home page has been modified to include a listing of the two most recent match results and the next 2 fixtures.

In addition the League Competition headings is now clickable and will bring you directly to the respective competition table. The League Team names are also clickable so when a team name is chosen a filtered view of results and known fixtures is displayed for that particular team.

More features will be added as they are developed over the next few weeks. Suggestions always welcome.

Photo Library Update

Approx. 80 photos of the Ladies Junior Semi were added to the Photo Library over the last few days. The link to the [b]Photograph[/b] section is available on the left hand menu under the [b]Interactive[/b] section link.

Its worth checking this link on a weekly basis as our photographer James Molloy is very busy clicking away and recording the action at many of the county and Club games. We will of course have photos of the Tommy Murphy Cup in Croker available as soon as possible after the game.

Quality prints are also available directly from James, the email address is james.molloy@leitrim.gaa.ie

You will find also some interesting photos taken recently in the run up to the final in Croker !
(Dustin actually came to Leitrim in search of a ticket !)

Update on ticket availability

Leitrim County Board received our allocation of tickets this morning and we are making every effort to distribute tickets to clubs in as fair a manner as possible. Tickets are classified as either Adult (?40) or Juvenile (?5). Adult tickets are available for most areas of the stadium while juvenile tickets are only valid for allocated family areas.

A number of Adult ?40 tickets will be distributed tonight (Thursday) to Club representatives.

It should be noted that we have been allocated a generous proportion of tickets in the Family ticket areas (A family ticket is a combination of Adult & Juvenile tickets). In order to try and facilitate families we are asking the supporters to contact your local club secretary and order your combination of Adult and Juvenile tickets by 6pm on Sunday evening. Juvenile tickets are for Under 16s only and cost ?5 each.

Where possible we will be keeping families together by allocating the tickets based on available seating arrangements.

This will take considerable time to implement but we hope to be in a position to allocate the batches of family tickets early next week as per the orders received.

Families who wish to purchase tickets for juveniles this weekend may do so but you will be charged full value for all the tickets (?40).

At all times tickets can [b]only[/b] be sourced from your club secretary and he or she will advise you of availability.
