Disappointing week for Intermediate team
as results go against them
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 2.10 Clarenbridge 2.10
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 5.07 Castlegar 5.13
Having already qualified for the quarter finals of the Intermediate
championship,
Kilnadeema/Leitrim played their final two games in the
group over a three day period on June 22nd and 26th. First up were
Clarenbridge in Athenry on a very warm evening. With Clarenbridge also
qualified, it was a very open game all through. County
star David Tierney started very brightly and shot over the first two
points of the game. After Kevin Conlon opened the 'Bridge's account with
a pointed free, Tom Tierney shot over a lovely point from play. Conlon
and Tierney then swopted pointed free's before Clarenbridge shot home
the opening goal which was created expertly by Gerry Spellman for Kevin
Conlon to goal. Conlon was proving a real problem for Kilnadeema/Leitrim
and soon scored two more points from free's. David Tierney with a third
point from play and a Tom Tierney free closed the gap after 25 mins.
Kevin Conlon again and centre half back Peter Burke then shot over
pointed free's before David Tierney again with his fourth point from
play left the half time score reading 0.07 to 1.06. Kilnadeema/Leitrim
got the perfect start to the second half when Fergal Nevin got on the
end of a Tom Tierney free to goal in the opening minute. Eamon Hyland
then pointed from play. Tom added a pointed free before Bernie Conlon
shot home a second goal for Clarenbridge after 12 mins. Padraig
Cormican, Kevin Conlon and John Cannon added further points as
Clarenbridge sensed victory. With Kilnadeema/Leitrim in real trouble now
with 5 mins left Mike Flanagan stepped up to the mark with a brilliant
goal to level up the game again. Tom Tierney then shot over what looked
like the winning point from play on 29 mins. Clarenbridge were not to be
denied and fittingly Kevin Conlon put over a 65 right on time to draw
the match at 2.10 each.
Scorers: Tom Tierney 0.05, David Tierney 0.04, Fergal
Nevin 1.00, Mike Flanagan 1.00, Eamon Hyland 0.01.

After this game Kilnadeema/Leitrim headed for Craughwell three
days later to take on Castlegar
in the final game in the group. It would take a miracle for Castlegar to
stay in the championship as their scoring average was very poor.
Kilnadeema/Leitrim never reached the heights needed for championship
hurling and were in trouble for a lot of this game retiring level at the
break 2.03 to 1.06. The goals were scored by new kids on the block Dara
Herlihy and Eoin O'Toole. Castlegar completely took over after half time
and lead by twelve points with ten minutes to play. Kilnadeema/Leitrim
put in a final spurt and shot three goals in the second period,
two from David Tierney and another from Dara Herlihy as the final
whistle sounded and a six point defeat the result. While it was hard to
get up for this game, it still meant a victory was very important if
they wanted to finish top of the group. This they did not achieve.

Minor team rocked by Liam Mellows after
very poor performance
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 1.04 Liam Mellows 2.15
Kilnadeema/Leitrim minor team already qualified took on Liam Mellows in
Ballyloughane on Friday June 23rd in the Minor B championship.
Even though short
a few players Kilnadeema/Leitrim never reached any greats heights and
were completely out played by the home side. Mellows took an early three
point lead from Michael Clune, and two from John O'Halloran before
Dara Herlihy opened his sides account with a point from a free after 13
mins. Liam Mellows who have a very big strong physical team took over
from here to half time and added points at will under little resistance.
Danny Breen and two more John O'Halloran points had five in it after 21
mins. Sean Morrissey then shot over a great point before Dara scored a
second free. Mellows finished the strongest with further points from
Alan Clancy and John O'Halloran to leave it 0.09 to 0.02 at the break.
We expected a strong Kilnadeema/Leitrim revival in the second half, but
it never arrived. Danny and Dean Breen and John O'Halloran soon
added more points for Liam Mellows before Dara Herlihy shot over another
pointed free. Alan Clancy then broke through for a Mellows goal after 10
mins to put this game to bed. John O'Halloran then scored a lineball as
everything was going right for the City side, and to prove this point
Dean Breen did likewise soon after. Dean then added a second goal after
20 mins. Mark Kelly finally got Kilnadeema/Leitrim's first score from
play after 22 mins, a point. Kilnadeema/Leitrim were now trying a little
harder and got some reward after 26 mins when substitute Stephen Farrell
goaled. Liam Mellows had the final say when they scored a point right at
the end to leave the final score reading 1.04 to 2.15.This was a totally
unexpected performance from this team who must now return to the
drawing board and start again.

Gort no match
for confident Under 12 team
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 1.08 Gort 0.00
Kilnadeema/Leitrim Under 12 team played their their second game in the
group when they entertained Gort in Leitrim on Monday June 22nd.
Gort who had a strong physical team made the better start
and missed two goals in the opening minutes. Kilnadeema/Leitrim
eventually got to grips with them mainly through their half back line
and Midfield getting on top. Then after a few missed chances
Kilnadeema/Leitrim opened the scoring when full forward Kevin Roche shot
over a good point from play. Kevin was to continue to torment the Gort
defence during the rest of the first half and he doubled their lead 4
mins later after Colm Callagy had a good shot saved by the goalkeeper.
With both midfielders Niall Broderick and Dylan Towolowi now on top, it
was no surprise when Dylan shot over a brilliant point two minutes
later. Kevin Roche added two more points. one from play, before Jack
Kenny added another point also from play. Kevin Roche fittingly added
the last score of the half, a point from play when a goal seemed on to
leave the half time score reading 0.07 to 0.00. Any hope Gort had of a
comeback were dashed a minute into the second half when a low shot from
Arron Murray creped in at the post for a goal. Kevin Roche soon added
another point from play. Hard to believe this was the last score of the
game as Substitutes were soon introduced leaving the final score reading
1.08 to no score. This was a very confident performance and it looks
good for the rest of the championship.

Under 12 team off to winning start
against Oranmore/Maree
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 3.05 Oranmore/Maree 1.04
Kilnadeema/Leitrim under 12 team got their championship campaign up and
running for the 2009 season
when they took on Oranmore/Maree in Oranmore on Wed June
16th. The game was played on a bright windy evening on a pitch where the
grass was much too long. Kilnadeema/Leitrim fielding two of the first
fifteen on the victorious Under 14 team, namely Ciaran Connor and Jack
Kenny. They played against the breeze in the first half and still lead
by 2.02 to 1.01 at the break. An early goal and a point by Jack Kenny
gave them a great start. Oranmore/Maree replied with a point from Ross
Malone. Kilnadeema/Leitrim continued to dominate and Arran Murray soon
shot over a brilliant point. A short time later Gavin Kenny at corner
forward scored a second goal for Kilnadeema/Leitrim. Oranmore/Maree
stayed in touch with a goal of their own from Steven Cummins. to leave
four points between the sides at the break. Kilnadeema/Leitrim with the
breeze in the second half were always in control with Kevin Roche
extending their lead with an early pointed free after one minute. Mark
Lawless then put over a lovely point after 4 mins. Matt Malone replied
with a pointed free. The game was as good as over after 8 mins when
after good work by Niall Broderick, Mikie Lynch goaled. Jack Kenny then
added a point from play. The final two scored of the half were both
scored by Matt Malone ( son of former Galway star Pat Malone), to leave
the final score reading 3.05 to 1.04. The noticeable feature about this
game was the strong physical approach of Oranmore/Maree which left a few
players with bad injuries. This game will get the team ready for tougher
games ahead.

championship with a comprehensive victory over Killimordaly in Duggan
Park, Ballinasloe, on Sunday June 14th.
Having lost to
Oranmore/Maree last time out, it was important to get back to winning
ways. Alan Flaherty opened the scoring inside the first minute. Brian
Costello followed up with a similar score a minute later. Kevin Molloy
then shot his first point from a free after 4 mins. Kilnadeema/Leitrim
were now well on top and Eoin O'Toole scored a lovely point from

Oranmore/Maree deserving winners as Junior B team disappoint in
opening championship game
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 1.10 Oranmore/Maree 1.14
Kilnadeema/Leitrim after two
false starts finally opened their championship campaign in Junior B when
they took on Oranmore/Maree in Ardrahan on Saturday June 6th.
Having had a very successful league so far in 2009, hopes
were high for this team but sadly this was not so as they never reached
those heights despite having a lot of the play. After playing with the
breeze in the opening half Kilnadeema/Leitrim had a slender one point
lead at the break 1.06 to 1.05, the goal coming from full forward Kevin
Molloy from play. With only four points to show for their efforts in the
second half, Oranmore/Maree were always in the driving seat, winning on
a final score line of 1.14 to 1.10. Their are still plenty opportunities
to qualify from this group.

Big Disappointment as Under 21
team lose Quarter final to Padraig Pearses by a single point
Kilnadeema/Leitrim
2.08 Padraig Pearses 1.12
Report from John Rafferty
Kilnadeema/Leitrim had victory snatched
from their fingertips in the dying moments of the U21B Championship
quarter final, played in Duggan Park Ballinasloe, on
Saturday last, May 9th. The post-mortems into this defeat
will surely be long and hard because for long stretches of this match
they were in complete control, as the younger lighter Pearses side, had
no answer to the power pace and hunger of the fired-up
Kilnadeema/Leitrim men. They were out of the traps in flash and by
the mid-point of the first half had opened up a 4 points to 2 lead with
Padraic Stapleton and Brian Gardener lording it at full and centre back
respectively. The latter in fact opened the scoring with a placed ball
into a stiff breeze from half way. At the other end of the field, Dara
Herlihy and Eoin O'Toole had the Pearses rearguard in real trouble, the
former scoring two from placed balls with the latter shooting a fine
effort from play. The winners only response coming from an Emmett Ward
free and a neat Niall Geilston point from play. It was all
Kilnadeema/Leitrim now and in the space of a minute, the twin
assassins, Herlihy and O'Toole, combined for what looked like two match
winning goals. The St Brigid's student made the decisive break and
passed to the full forward who finished with aplomb on both occasions,
to give his side an 8pt advantage, midway through the first half. Stung
by this reversal, Pearses came to life outscoring their opponents by
4pts to 2 from there to the break. Ward with two frees, Dermot Skehill
and Keith Donnellan, one each from play getting the scores, with
Brian Gardener landing his second of the day from half-way and Gary
Winters from play responding for Kilnadeema/Leitrim , to leave them 6pts
to the good with wind advantage to come in the second
period. Kilnadeema/Leitrim were slow coming out after the break and
Paul Howard was picking the ball out of the net after 30 seconds. Conor
O'Grady first timed to the net when a long range Ward free dropped
short. Normal service appeared to be resumed, 4 minutes later when Brian
Gardener shot his third, this time from a 65. Pearses had other ideas
however, their backs got to grips with the rampant Kilnadeema/Leitrim
forwards while up front the attackers were creating more space and
hurling much better playing into the elements Niall Geilston and Emmett
Ward reduced the margin to two with two great strikes from play, before
the Kilnadeema/Leitrim free taker Dara Herlihy had what turned out
to be their last score after only eleven second half minutes. Pearses now
had the wind in their sails, Niall Skehill was hurling up a storm,
landing two super scores from distance, while Emmett Ward broke free
from the shackles of the tight marking Stapleton to land an outrageous
strike from the left touch line. Connor O'Grady shot Pearses into the
lead for the first time in the match, with three minutes of normal time
on the clock. Kilnadeema/Leitrim had a number of chances to level
matters but a combination of poor shooting and dogged but disciplined
Pearses defence denied them. The final whistle sounded with the score
board reading 2.08 to 1.12. This was a very disappointing defeat,
especially as the team had to line out with Gearoid Whelan and Ruairi
Costello due to injury. With most of the team underage again next year,
this was a good learning experience.

High energy performance sees
Kilnadeema/Leitrim record second win in a week over Ballindereen.
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 1.17 Ballindereen 0.11
Championship
hurling as you would expect between two of the fancy teams for the
Intermediate championship was on show in Loughrea on Sunday May 3rd,
as
Kilnadeema/Leitrim and Ballindereen squared up in an absorbing, physical
game with Kilnadeema/Leitrim enjoying an unexpected nine point victory.
A victory which ensured qualification for the knockout stages after only
two games. Their were big expectations of Ballindereen, who only lost
their senior status last year, but on the evidence of this performance,
they have a lot of work to do to have any hope of returning to senior
level in the near future. Tom Tierney, who had a wonderful game at wing
forward opened the scoring with a pointed free in the first minute.
Keith Carr replied soon after for Ballindereen with a point from play.
Alan Martyn put them ahead with a good point from play shortly
after. This was to be the only time they lead in the game as
Kilnadeema/Leitrim took over. Tom Tierney with a point from play
levelled matters again before Eamon Hyland shot a brilliant point after
been set up by the hard working Shane Flaherty. Brian Daniels and David
Tierney soon shot points from play as they opened up a gap of three.
Barry Coen then shot over a very disputable point for Ballindereen with
the Umpires not agreeing on weather it was a score or not. Tom Tierney,
who caused a lot of problems to the Ballindereen defence all day soon
shot over a mighty point from near the sideline after 14 minutes. Keith
Carr kept Ballindereen in the game with another point from play after 17
mins. Enda Fanning, who has been the find of the year for
Kilnadeema/Leitrim shot over a lovely point a minute later. David
Tierney and Barry Coen, both with their second points of the day left
three between the sides after 22 mins. Tom Tierney shot over his fourth
point on 25 minutes, again from play. Keith Connolly then added a point
for the south Galway side before Niall Tierney hit a great point off the
ground. Alan Martyn had the last say of the first half right on the
break the leave the score board reading 0.10 to 0.07. Tom Tierney
started off where he left off with another pointed free a minute into
the second half. Then on seven minutes both teams were reduced to
fourteen men when Enda Fanning and Colm Meehan saw red for a striking
offence. Tom Tierney added another point from a free after 9 mins as
scores became harder to find. Pakie Carr came up from wing back to open
Ballindeeren's account in the second half with a point after 10 minutes.
Tom Tierney quickly replied for Kilnadeema/Leitrim with another point
from play. Then we had to wait eight minutes before Shane Coen shot over
a Ballindereen point. Fergal Nevin was now introduced for
Kilnadeema/Leitrim and made an instant impact as he got on the end of a
loose ball in the square to crash home a vital goal and end
Ballindeeren's challenge after 24 mins. Shane Coen shot over another
point from a free two minutes later. Kilnadeema/Leitrim finished the
stronger and shot four points to one in reply before the finish, first
through Tom Tierney from play, which was quickly added to by Eamon
Hyland, Sean Burke and Eamon again to a lone reply from Shane Coen for
Ballindereen. Peter Murphy blew the final whistle shortly after on a
final score of 1.17 to 0.11. This was a very pleasing performance and a
improvement again from the previous week against Killimor. Next up
Castlegar in two weeks.

Impressive performance by minor team
against Ballindereen
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 4.15 Ballindereen 2.08
Kilnadeema/Leitrim and Ballindereen meet in very wet conditions in the
second minor championship in Ballindereen on Wednesday April 29th.
In a very
competitive game Kilnadeema/Leitrim put in a very impressive first half
performance to lead by eleven points at the break. Shane Lawless opened
the scoring after a minute with a lovely point from play. Mark Kelly, in
a new role of corner forward soon shot home a brilliant goal. Damien
Donoghue added a point from play a minute later as all the full forward
line had scored by the fourth minute. Kevin Lane opened Ballindeeren's
account with a free on 5 mins, before Kilnadeema/Leitrim scored another
goal, this time from Shane Lawless after brilliant work from Niall
Haverty and Dara Herlihy.
Kevin Lane
added another free a minute later as scores continued to pile up. Dara
Herlihy with two points, one from play and a 65 left his side eight
points ahead after 10 mins.
After Paul Howard had made a great save, Dara added another free.
Ballindereen added a point from play before Damien Donoghue got his
second point from play. Niall Haverty and Dara Herlihy then added points
from play after 21 mins before captain Alvin Mitchell got in on the act
with a lovely point from play. Kevin Lane added two more points from
free's for Ballindereen before substitute Cathal king got a brilliant
point on his introduction to leave the half time score 2.10 to
0.05.Ballindeeren opened the scoring in the second half before Martin
Costello shot over a inspirational point after 10 mins. The defence were
under much more pressure now, but were playing very well. Kevin Lane
added a point from play before Mark Kelly shot a brilliant goal to
really kill off the game. Cathal King soon added a point from play
before Damien Donoghue shot a fourth goal after 17 mins. Dara Herlihy
shot over a lovely point soon after before Mark Lane shot a goal
for Ballindereen. He added another point soon after. Cathal King with
his third point and Martin Costello with his second point near the
end. Kevin Lane, who was very good for Ballindereen shot another goal
right on full time to leave the final score reading 4.14 to 2.08. This
was certainly more like it by this team and sets them up nicely for the
break.

Intermediate
team off to a winning start against Killimor
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 2.12 Killimor 0.13
The first real signs of Summer usually arrives with the start of the
Intermediate championship in Galway,
but you certainly
wouldn't think so in April, 2009, as a very wet weekend greeted
Kilnadeema/Leitrim and Killimor when they contested the opening round in
Ballinasloe on Sunday April 26th. This game which was fixed for the
previous day only to been called off due to heavy rain, was played in
driving rain and wind. Michael Dervan opened the scoring with a
point from a free in the opening minute for Killimor. Tom Tierney
replied with three points in a row, all from placed balls by the 11th
minute. Shane Duane with a point from play for Killimor reduced to lead
to one by the 16th minute. Michael Dervan leveled up the game for the
only time a minute later, this time from play. Kilnadeema/Leitrim
responded with two points, the first from play from Shane Flaherty and
then a 60 mtr free from Tom Tierney after 20mins. Robert Mitchell and
Tom Tierney swopted points within the next five minutes, both from play.
Kevin Callanan kept Killimor right in the game with another point from
play before Tom Tierney pointed a free. With only two points between the
sides coming close to half time, a goal could prove decisive to either
side and Kilnadeema/Leitrim's Michael Flanagan got just that after 30
mins after an Eamon Hyland shot was blocked down. The half time
whistle soon sounded with the score reading 1.07 to 0.05.If that
goal just before half time was vital, the first score of the second half
was real disaster for Killimor as Tom Tierney ran right through the
defence to score another goal only a minute into the second half. If
everybody thought that was it then Killimor did not read the script and
failed to score again until the 18th minute as Killimor took over.
Michael Dervan with three pointed free's with points from play from
Tommy Gibbons and Shane Duane left only a goal between the sides. Tom
Tierney settled down matters again with two pointed free's by the 21st
minute to put five between the sides again. Eamon Hyland then shot a
brilliant point from play, before Michael Dervan shot over another point
from a free. Tom Tierney replied with a similar score before Shane
McClernan shot over the first of two late points for him for Killimor to
narrow the gap. Eamon Hyland had time to get a second point from play
before the end as the final whistle sounded on a final score of 2.12 to
0.13. This was an average performance from Kilnadeema/Leitrim on the
opening day with much better to come in the next few weeks. For the new
management of Paul Kennedy and Shane Kelly, it's a great start.

added a point from a free which was replied to by James Tuffy to leave
the half time score reading 1.06 to 0.04. Rahoon/Newcastle would have
the breeze in the second half, but it was Kilnadeema/Leitrim which
started the better with Shane lawless pointing inside a minute
with Dara Herlihy pointing a minute later. Gary Curley, in his new roll
as a wing back came forward and struck a great point on the run. Rahoon
kept in touch with a fortunate goal soon after. Dara and James then

10 mins. Seven minutes passed before Shane Lawless shot over a brilliant
point. Dara Herlihy with a free and another Gary Curley point from play

Wonderful victory for Under 21
team as they reach quarter finals
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 2.12 Killimor 0.08
Kilnadeema/Leitrim after their
disappointing opening day defeat to Cappataggle got their Under 21
championship
back on track with a preliminary quarter final victory over Killimor in
Castledaly on Sunday April 5th. Killimor came with a big reputation, but
never really got into the game as Kilnadeema/Leitrim fought brilliantly
for every ball. Team captain Brian Gardiner lead by example when opening
the scoring with a pointed free from over 100 yards after one minute,
Dara Herlihy then added three pointed free's by the twelfth minute for
Kilnadeema/Leitrim. Killimor eventually opened their account with a
point from play from Justin Broderick after 13 minutes, this after they
had missed many chances. Kilnadeema/Leitrim quickly replied with a first
score from play, a point from full forward Eoin O'Toole. Dara Herlihy
with two points from free's and a Jason Harahan reply, also from a free
sandwiched in between to leave the score reading 0.07 to 0.02. Patrick
Gourhy then added another point from play for Killimor, before the first
real break came in the game after 22 minutes, when Eoin O'Toole scored a
fine goal for Kilnadeema/Leitrim. Dara and Jason then swopted points,
again from free's before Eoin O'Toole pointed again from play. Jason
Harahan finished off the scoring in the first half with two more points
from free's for Killimor to leave the score line reading 1.09 to 0.06.
Killimor had the breeze in the second half and were expected to put up a
better display in the second half. Christopher Starr gave them the
perfect start with a point from play. Dara Herlihy opened the sides
account for the second half with a pointed free before Thomas Dunne shot
over another point for Killimor. Any hopes Killimor had of a comeback
were ended totally after 18 minutes when Dara Herlihy got on the end of
a loose ball in around the goals to crash home a second goal for
Kilnadeema/Leitrim and put more day light between the sides. Colm Kelly,
who had just been introduced to the game then scored a brilliant point
from play. The final point of the game came from Gary Curley from play
right on full time as the final whistle soon sounded with a final score
of 2.12 to 0.08. This was a brilliant win for this team and a place in
the last of the championship to look forward to.

Home defeat in the Intermediate
league as team turns worst performance in many a year
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 1.04 Oranmore/Maree 0.09
Kilnadeema/Leitrim Intermediate team turned one of their poorest
performances in many a year
when they were rolled over much too easily by Oranmore/Maree in the
league, which was played in Leitrim on Sunday March 29th. The reality is
the team only scored one point from play in sixty minutes of play, which
is just not good enough at this level, and puts the team under severe
pressure for the championship in little over a months time. In a very
poor first half, Oranmore/Maree despite playing into the breeze and rain
were to lead at half time by a single point. Colm Cormican opened the
scoring for the Westerners with a point from play after only one minute.
Martin Keane, Oranmore/Maree centre half forward, who was to prove a
real handful all through soon doubled his teams lead with another point
from play. The only score from play for the home side arrived on ten
minutes when Jason Collins shot over a good point. Hard to believe the
team couldn't muster one more point from play over the next 50 minutes.
Tom Tierney soon levelled up the game with a point from a free, before
Martin Keane landed his second point for Oranmore/Maree four minutes
later. Oranmore/Maree goalkeeper Kieran Hanniffy made the first of two
brilliant saves soon after from Tom Tierney, before Tom levelled
the game again with a point from a 65. Martin Keane who was the
star of the match shot over the final score of the first half , another
point from play to leave the score line reading 0.04 to 0.03. With
Oranmore/Maree having the elements in the second half, they soon pushed
on in their quest for victory. Sean Cormican, who opened the scoring in
the first half added another early in the second. Kieran Hanniffy
brought off his second breathtaking save soon after, again from Tom
Tierney. Tom kept the scores close with another pointed free soon after.

Under 21 team come up short against star studded Cappataggle side in
opening round of the championship
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 0.06
Cappataggle 2.06
The first championship game of the 2009 season kicked off in the Under
21 competition when the opening round game took place on Saturday
march 7th in Tynagh against near neighbours and all Ireland Intermediate
finalists Cappataggle, a team that featured many of those players that
graced Croke Park recently, even if they were missing county goalkeeper
James Skehill through injury. The early stages of this game was very
competitive and fiercely contested. Kilnadeema/Leitrim, who lined out
with seven minors on their team got off to a good start with a point
from Alvin Mitchell from play, this after Alan Dolan had opened the
scoring for Cappataggle from a free. Dara Herlihy then put his
team ahead with his first pointed free soon after ( this was the only
time the team lead in the game). The first big break of the game fell to
Cappataggle when Alan Dolan got on the end of a long delivery to blast
past Paul Howard in the goals. Cappataggle were now on top and added two
more points from Alan Dolan and Mark Loughnane to put their team ahead
1.03 to 0.02. The second real blow arrived close to half time when full
forward Ronan Garvey pulled on a lose ball to score a second goal for
Cappataggle. Dara Herlihy added another point from a free just on half
time to leave the score at the break reading 2.03 to 0.03. The second
half never reached the heights of the first as the poor weather and
under foot conditions began to take it's toll on the players. Their was
only three points added by either side in the second half. Gary Curley
added only the second score of the game from play for Kilnadeema/Leitrim
and two more Dara Herlihy free's was the sum total for their side. Alan
Dolan with two points and a David Byrne point were the replies from
Cappataggle to leave the final score 2.06 to 0.06 in Cappataggle's
favour. While this was a disappointing result for this very young side,
it was to be expected against a very strong Cappataggle side who will be
one of the favourites for the competition later on in the year. For
Kilnadeema/Leitrim their will be a second chance later on in the losers
competition.

Winning start to 2009 League for both Intermediate and Junior teams
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 1.15 Ahascragh/Fohenagh 2.10
Kilnadeema/Leitrim under the new management of Paul Kennedy and
Shane Kelly made a winning start to the 2009 Intermediate league
with a well merited victory over north Galway side Ahascragh/Fohenagh
at a dry, but windy Leitrim on Sunday March 1st. Having to field without
many of the regular players who were unavailable for this weekend,
Kilnadeema/Leitrim were forced to ask five of the Junior team who played
the previous day to field again in this game. Ahascragh/Fohenagh playing
against the wind in the first half made the better start and lead by two
points after four minutes with points from JP Egan and Finbar
Donnellan. Sean Burke soon opened Kilnadeema/Leitrim's account with a
point from play. Kevin Molloy, one of the five Junior players rolled
back the years with another
great performance and he got his first point on 11 minutes to level up
the game. The vital break in this
first half arrived soon after when Eamon Coleman got on the end of a
long delivery to shot to the net and leave his side ahead 1.02 to 0.02.
Ahascragh/Fohenagh were rocked but soon recovered and were back level
two minutes alter when a long free from Kevin Gavin was put in the net
by David Costello. Kevin Molloy with two free's and a brilliant point
from Eamon Coleman had Kilnadeema/Leitrim in control after 20 minutes
leading by three. Sean burke and Eamon Hyland then added two more
great points, also from play, before Kevin Molloy added two more points
from free's. Eamon Hyland, who was playing very well at centre Half
Forward then tacked on another good point before Kevin
Molloy and Alan Smyth swopted points from free's. to leave the half time
score reading 1.11 to 1.03 in Kilnadeema/Leitrim's favour. With the wind
at their back Ahascragh/Fohenagh were quick out of the blocks in the
second half and goaled almost straight away from Alan Smyth from a close
in free. Sean Lally with two points from free's and Kevin Molloy with
one reply left just four points between the teams after 10 minutes, 1.12
to 2.05. We then had two good points by opposite midfielders, Patrick
Hartigan and Fergal Nevin. Sean Lally and Kevin Gavin with two pointed
free's after 16 minutes left two points between the sides with
Ahascragh/Fohenagh looking like winners. The final fourteen minutes were
evenly fought with Kevin Molloy adding two more pointed free's and Kevin
Gavin replying for his team with one from play and one from a free to
leave the final score line reading Kilnadeema/Leitrim 1.15
Ahascragh/Fohenagh 2.10. This was a good opening game to the season and
hopefully will give the players the vital encouragement to go on and win
many more games this year.

Wonderful success for brilliant
Under 16 team in county final
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 2.15 Liam Mellows 1.11
Now and again a team comes along in a club
that will tick all the right boxes and hit all the right cords
and in 2008 Kilnadeema/Leitrim discovered such a team of Under 16
players who wanted to win a county title so badly after over ninety
training sessions and 20 competitive matches, both championship and
challenge, they came up trumps in a wonderful Under 16 B final against
Liam Mellows in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Saturday November 29th.With
both teams having remained undefeated all year in the championship, this
was always going to be a close contest and so it turned out to be for
long stages until Kilnadeema/Leitrim pulled away at the finish. Liam
Mellows opened the scoring with
a point from play from Luke Williams
after one minute. With the game been played on a ice cold frosty pitch
the play was hectic right from the start. Dara Herlihy settled his team
down soon after with a pointed free. John O'Halloran soon replied for
Liam Mellows with a point, also from a free. Dara Herlihy operating at
corner forward leveled up the game again with a point from play after
five minutes. Dara, the team captain was really leading by example now
and soon shot his team into the lead for the first time with another
brilliant point from play to lead 0.03 to 0.02 after six minutes. The
Kilnadeema/Leitrim defence was coming under a lot of pressure early on
and it was Conor Fahy in particular who helped pulled the team together
time and again. Liam Mellows full forward Declan Forde was catching all
the high balls been delivered into to his area and soon won a penalty
for his team which he took himself and disappointingly for him and Liam
Mellows he struck the ball too high to register only a point as a goal
would have been a Hugh lift for his side so early in the game. Alvin
Mitchell, who was to have a wonderful and influential game soon landed a
mighty point from play after he made on of his trade mark runs up the
field immediately after the penalty to put Kilnadeema/Leitrim back in
front. Liam Mellows were to suffer a big blow soon after when they lost
midfielder John O'Halloran through injury. Danny Bruen with a pointed
free leveled up the game again after 15 minutes. One of the scores of
the game followed soon after when Stephen Bruton won a great ball and
gave the perfect pass to Conor O'Brien who pointed from near the corner
flag. Kilnadeema/Leitrim were dominating in many area's now with both
Alvin Mitchell and Martin Costello putting in big performances at
midfield and it was Martin who shot the next point on 17 minutes to put
his side two points up. The game took a dramatic turn on 24 minutes
though when Declan Walsh scrambled home a very fortunate goal to put
Liam Mellows back in front 1.04 to 0.06. This put Kilnadeema/Leitrim
under some pressure again and the response was magic, when after missing
a few good goal scoring chances, Shane Lawless struck for a
brilliant goal which went
high into the roof of the net to put
Kilnadeema/Leitrim back in front by two points. Dara Herlihy closed the
scoring for the first half with another point from play a minute later
to leave the scoreboard reading 1.07 to 1.04 at the break and with all
to play for. With a slight breeze to come and playing into the scoring
goals in the second half, Kilnadeema/Leitrim were now in with a great
chance or so we thought until the early stages of the second half came
which didn't go according to the script. Midfielder Dean Bruen quickly
got Liam Mellows rolling with a point from play, before Danny Bruen
closed the gap even further after 3 minutes with another point from
play. Dara Herlihy, who struck the post with an earlier free soon put
over a brilliant point from a free near the sideline. Danny Bruen did
likewise with a pointed free for Liam Mellows after 6 mins to leave just
one point between the sides, and Bruen was now really beginning to make
his mark on the game with two more points, one from play after 9 minutes
to put Liam Mellows back in front 1.09 to 1.08. Kilnadeema/Leitrim has
lost their shape
all over the field and looked in real trouble, but we
should have known better, because if their is one thing about this team,
they never give up easily and almost immediately they found a new gear
with much more composure. Shane Lawless, who had his best game since
last years under 14 final struck over a brilliant equalizing point. Five
minutes of play followed before Dara Herlihy shot over a 65 to restore
the lead for the east Galway side 1.10 to 1.09. Dara and
Danny Bruen
then exchanged pointed free's after 18 minutes. Alvin Mitchell was
dominating the game at this stage and broke through for another
brilliant long range point after 19 minutes. Dara Herlihy with his eight
point
soon had a goal between the sides. Any chance Liam Mellows had of
adding this years title to the one they won in 2007 was given a real
blow on 23 minutes when Dara Herlihy, who had just been moved to full
forward turned his man before sliding home the perfect goal past a
disappointed Ricky Elwood. It was now a six point game with the winning
line in sight. Alvin Mitchell crowned a mighty performance with another
point three minutes later to open up a seven point gap. Liam Mellows
best
player, centre half back Sean Morrissey was moved forward at this
stage and he shot over a point a minute later. The final score of a
great game fell to Shane Lawless when he shot another brilliant point
right on the call of time to leave the final score reading a wonderful
Kilnadeema/Leitrim 2.15 Liam Mellows 1.11when referee Christy Helebert
blew for the end. What followed were scenes of unbridled joy as hun dreds
of Kilnadeema/Leitrim fans made their way onto the pitch to greet their
heroes. This was a performance and result of such high quality which
will do wonders for Kilnadeema/Leitrim hurling club, especially with the
talent now coming on stream. Their were many stars on the day. Conor
Cunningham had a easy day with very little to do and could do very
little about the goal conceded, the fullback line was steady all
through, especially when Niall McGinley switched into fullback with
Conal Whelan much happier in the corner where he dominated all through.
Colin Moran was equally
solid in the other corner. The half back line
after a rocky start were brilliant all through with James Conway, Conor
Fahy and Stephen Farrell putting great performances. Midfield was the
real bedrock of the team with Alvin Mitchell and Martin Costello putting
mighty displays. The half forward line played really well and in Shane
Lawless had a real match winner. Niall Haverty and Conor O'Brien did
many good things all through with Conor's point a real highlight. Dara
Herlihy with one goal and eight points was super all through in both the
full and half forward lines. John Callagy and Stephen Bruton both set up
many chances for their team mates during the game. Also well done to all
the substitute's who contributed throughout the year. For Manager Joe
Keane and selectors Denis Callagy and Michael Flynn, this was a really
great team to have worked with and due reward all round at the end for
eight long months of hard work. The team and management wish to thank
their main sponsor Gerry Walsh of House n' Homes and also Joe Kenny
plastering and Peter Leahy Builder for their generous sponsorship of
togs and socks. Roll on next year.
Scorers: Dara Herlihy 1.08, Shane Lawless 1.02, Alvin Mitchell 0.03,
Martin Costello 0.01, Conor O'Brien 0.01.
