Cometh the man, cometh the cap
The inter county season is over - they’ll have the club championship to look forward to now.
The cycle remains the same, hoopla about the county scene and then zilch. The CB focus is on the senior team only despite pronouncements to the contrary. By the June weekend the senior inter county saga will be over, we then have June and July to get ready for the main event - the championship.
No change there, unlikely to change. Lads lose interest, discover C&W music, jiving, girls, porter and Lanzarote. When you have ‘supporters’ hurling abuse from the sideline at you it’s the cue to quit.
Changes are essential, we’ll need to have competitive football from the middle of June onwards when the weather is middling and the pitches playable. We played an underage final in the old Bee Park the 1st Sunday in November back in the 60’s so nothing has or will change until we change the top table.

Any chance the new sponsor will demand a few changes also JP in Limerick,even Kerrigan should be demanding more for the minors.
Is there actually a new sponsor lined up and if so have the Clarkes bowed out? God bless them they’ve had their share of misfortunes on personal levels during their stint - incredibly sound folk both Seamus and Caitriona. They’ll be a hard act to follow.
Look you know yourself, there isn’t any appetite for change with these guys. We need to be imaginative, have the championships played in the Summer - Co final day the 2nd Sunday in Sept, reduce all divisions to 8 with 1 up 1 down and rather than togging out 35 or 40 lads in county apparel put the money into coaching underage. Us clods who tramp the roads in January should be allowed a voice in where the money is spent too mind.
Now there’s players aren’t exempt for questioning here too, how we drift out of games is a mystery and Paddy and Beirne aside the only other two who’ve given it their all have been Plunkett and Dolan….
Clarke is done this year.Yes 8 senior clubs is loads,8 inter and so on.Adian Rooney made a few great points on one of Breffni’s podcasts a couple of years ago which I posted upOne was regarding the secondary schools football.He was saying they should amalgamate so they’re playing at a decent level rather than plugging away at C or D level.We need some new thinking as the old ways aren’t working.Any new sponsor should demand some of these changes or no cash.

You can’t imagine there will be a line up of new sponsors battering down the doors of the executive level chambers of Pairc Sean begging to be Leitrim sponsors can you.
Agree with that, and don’t have relegation as part of the championship. And I would say have another round of 7 games for the championship with the eight teams in the division, top four into semis. That would be at least 14 games in the year for clubs between league and c’ship
I respectfully disagree with the additional games you mooted. Currently clubs have 4 championship games in the round robin before the progression/relegation series of matches. The relegation ‘fourball’ provides another game for 2 clubs and yet another for the last pairing in the survival final. If you haven’t gotten your shit in order by then you pay the price.
The same applies at the top/business end - most teams will have 5 and possibly more games where the stakes are high and that’s enough. I was happy enough with the system that came in last year and I assume it’s going to continue. What we need is to move the process forward by a month or 6 weeks having competitive matches in July and August. Relegation should be based on the championship formula - kill or be killed sharpens the mind.
Well at least bottom team in each play in relegation final I would counter
John Connolly with some good points here but we’re all too aware of the problems.
After such a disastrous year, the blame has to fall on the manager.
It’s the same story for any team sport.
We’d a couple of excellent wins in the Fr Manning and U15’s at the weekend.We have plenty of good young lads playing in the county but we’re letting them down by not pushing them on coaching wise unlike other counties.
LEITRIM 6-18 LONGFORD 1-9
Leitrim U16s qualified for the Fr. Manning Cup semi-finals in some style with a comprehensive victory over a hitherto unbeaten Longford outfit. Aided by a number of returning U17 county players, Leitrim roared into action, blitzing Longford in the first quarter as they scored 2-6 without reply.
Leitrim attacked Longford from the throw-in and early points inside the first 3 minutes from Ruairi O’Rourke and Senan Bohan were quickly followed by goals from Gavin Gallagher and Kyle Russell within the following 3 minutes. Leitrim then added 4 more points through Senan Bohan, Ruairi O’Rourke(2) and Sean Carolan Morris to round out the first quarter. Longford got their opening score of the game on 25 minutes and this was sandwiched between 4 further Leitrim scores from Sean Carolan Morris(a 45), Ruairi O’Rourke, Jack Kelly and Senan Bohan. This left the half-time score Leirim 2-10 and Longford 0-1.
Leitrim introduced a number of subs in the 2nd half but there was to be no comeback for Longford. Again Leitrim opened the half in whirlwind fashion adding 2-5 inside the first 15 minutes with 2 solitary replies from Longford. The Leitrim points came from Joey McBrien, Jack Kelly(2) and Ruairi O’Rourke(2) with Senan Bohan and Ruairi O’Rourke adding the goals. The final quarter proved to be Longford’s most productive as they added 1-6 to their tally. But not to be outdone Leitrim rounded off their scoring with a further 2-3 of their own with goals from Joey McBrien and Ruairi O’Rourke. Jack Kelly, Oisin Conlon and Ruairi O’Rourke added the last points of Leitrim’s total for an impressive win.
Leitrim will be buoyed by the fact that their squad has shown great depth in topping the group, at times playing games without a number of their U17 players. They will also realise that there will be tougher games ahead but the focus, for now, turns to preparing for a Fr. Manning Cup semi-final.
LEITRIM: Josh Sheridan; Oran Foley; Killian Mulvey; Luke Farrell; Peter Moran; Kyle Russell(1-0); Bailey McBride; Luke Fitzsimons; Cormac Moran; Gavin Gallagher(1-0); Senan Bohan(1-2); Sean Carolan Morris(0-2); Joey McBrien(1-1); Jack Kelly(0-4); Ruairi O’Rourke(2-8); Subs: Oisin Conlon(0-1); James Hughes; Tadhg Regan; Bobby Hanrahan; Aodh Gavin; Kevin Faughnan; Daire Shannon; Ben Harte.

LEITRIM 4-21 CARLOW 2-10
Leitrim maintained their 100% record in the Humphrey Kellegher Cup with facile victory at a sunny Carlow Training Centre yesterday. Leitrim led from pillar to post and their victory was never in doubt. After an initial period of pressure, Carlow converted from a placed ball to take an early lead but that was as good as it got for the Barrowsiders.
Leitrim kicked into gear over the next few minutes with early points from Conor Reynolds and Jack Attard to lead on 4 minutes. After a missed goal chance, Leitrim made amends very quickly over the next 5 minutes as they finished off 3 wonderful moves with goals through Jack Prior, Thomas Gunn and Ronan Fox. Carlow responded with another placed ball to leave Leitrim 9 points to the good after 15 minutes. The remainder of the opening period saw Leitrim tag on 6 more points through Sean Gaffney(2), Jack Attard(2), Conor Reynolds and Ronan Fox while Carlow added 3 of their own to leave the half-time score Leirim 3-8 Carlow 0-5.
Leitrim continued the 2nd half in much the same vane as the 1st. Senan McGowan, Jack Moolick and Sean Gaffney(2) stretched Leitrim’s lead before Carlow added 2 points of their own. Carlow then got through for their first goal but this was quickly cancelled out as Leitrim added points through Jack Prior, Jack Attard(2) and Senan McGowan.
Carlow got in for a 2nd goal in the 46th minute but again Leitrim responded with a wonderful 50-yard run by Jack Moolick that culminated in a clinical finish to the back of the Carlow net by the big midfielder. As the game reached an inevitable conclusion, 7 points were exchanged between the sides as Jack Attard, Conor Reynolds, Sean Gaffney and Jack Prior rounded off the scoring for a 2nd comprehensive victory in the Humphrey Kellegher Cup. With games to come against Fermanagh and Clare, Leitrim know one win may well be enough to propel them into the semi-final.
LEITRIM: Scott Kerr; John McGarry; Ronan Connolly; Charlie Slevin; Ultan McNulty; Rian Costello; Cillian McWeeney; Jack Moolick(1-1); Thomas Gunn(1-0); Gearoid Curley; Ronan Fox(1-1); Conor Reynolds(0-3); Sean Gaffney(0-6); Jack Prior(1-2); Jack Attard(0-6).

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). Subs: Bobby Hanrahan, Cillian Downes, Aodh Gavin, Oran Dougan
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 po

With an ainm like that, if he isn’t a transplant from down our way I’ll be very surprised
Bohan is a big Leitrim name, well around my neck of the woods anyway,
It is pronounced Bohan as opposed to the Dublin ladies manager Bo-HAN.

Those u-15 are good results, but they might be a bit misleading. Leitrim have only entered one team at that level, while Carlow and Louth have two. As a result ye wouldn’t be playing the best 15 from either county.
