Senior League
Senior club football returned to the Páirc on Saturday evening as the lads welcomed Aughavas in the Leitrim All-County Division One.
The opening half was closely contested. Wayne McKeon opened the scoring with a free after two minutes, before Aughavas replied with two points to edge ahead. On ten minutes, Senan Harte levelled matters, but Aughavas quickly regained the lead with another point.
Bryan Leydon landed an excellent score on 13 minutes to bring the sides level once more, before Paul Moran converted a two-point free to put us in front. Two further frees from Luke Murphy rounded off a strong finish to the half, giving us a 0-07 to 0-03 lead at the break.
We started the second half brightly, with Dillon Beirne pointing early to extend the advantage. Senan Harte was then replaced by Liam Ferguson. Aughavas responded with a free to reduce the deficit to 0-08 to 0-04.
Wayne McKeon struck a superb two-pointer from play on 12 minutes to push the lead out to six. Conor Moran replaced Kian McGovern shortly before Aughavas added another free. Mark Aherne got on the scoresheet on 20 minutes, making it 0-11 to 0-05, before Andrew Burns came on in place of Shane Murphy.
Further points from Dillon Beirne and Naoise McManus sealed a strong home performance, with the final score reading 15 points to 7.

Congratulations
Well done to Grace Brennan , Niamh Aherne . and Tori Molloy who made their debut for our ladies team on Sunday when they played against St Marys. The girls have been great role models to our underage players over the years and have been ever present since they played u8. We wish them all well for the future.
U15 Naomh Eoin
Hard luck to the U15 boys who bowed out at the semi-final stage against Annaduff. The lads showed great heart and determination throughout but were ultimately unable to match a strong visiting side.
Despite a spirited fightback in the closing minutes, a number of early goals from Annaduff proved decisive. To their credit, Naomh Eoin battled right to the final whistle and never gave up.Final score: Naomh Eoin 4-08 Annaduff 6-08
Well done to the players and management on a strong campaign.
