McWeeney and Guckian.
If you hear those names you can be guaranteed Leitrim connections.
Guckian around Carrick, Leitrim although there’s a family of them around Fey-na
I wasn’t playing but I was singing with Charlie Beirnes band at the social afterwards. 
In the Leitrim village photo above Liam Foran kicked senior for a few years with the county. He wasn’t too bad in fairness, big awkward fucker.
There’s a decent TG4 documentary in you lad.
Several families of Guckian in Fenagh parish. The most notable is possibly the popular Réiteóir Patrick who gave distinguished service on the playing field before taking up an feadóg. He’s not, however, universally liked in his current guise in the Séan O’Heslin club.
Some of that family dripped into Gorvagh I think,
You’re very, very tight on the parochial boundary there. Glostermin townland is in Fenagh parish but I’d suspect that some of original holding may be in Gorvagh / Mohill parish.
The monument at Selton is in Mohill parish for example. It was left however to the Fenagh club to lay the wreath as nobody from Mohill bothered. Ashamed of their history I suppose.
Sure didn’t someone from Mohill give the men up?
The infamous Dr. Pendleton who’d been a former medic in the British Army. There are slightly conflicting reports regarding the “informer” who was deemed to be a man called William Latimer who paid with his life a few weeks later in an execution style reprisal.
The Fay-na elders have locally absolved Latimer posthumously, as it was his wife who visited the dispensary at Gorvagh that day and encountered the notorious doctor and may have let the cat out of the bag. William Larimer was well regarded as a decent enough man.
On the plus side, while Pendleton escaped sanction around Mohill, which he fled shortly after the ambush, he was killed in London 3 years later when a runaway lorry pinned him to a wall. An accident, apparently, but the driver was from Aughnasheelin and fortuitously escaped censure on some spurious technicality.
And lads are wondering where Shergar lies - the Neddies are a tight crew.
A random one for ye Leitrim folk
On an ongoing to and fro with an acquaintance of mine on protestant GAA players. He maintains the Honeymans and Dugdale of the 94 team were.
Can anyone confirm?
Pretty sure Honeyman wasn’t but as Massey says George Dugdale was.
Ollie is married to a sister of my local councillor and they wouldn’t be ones to rock the boat too much.
