Michael Geragthy elected new Secretary with John Whelan returning as Intermediate Manager for 2011

The Annual General Meeting of Kilnadeema/Leitrim hurling club took place recently in Leitrim community centre before a very large attendance. Outgoing Chairman John Kennedy welcomed everybody to the meeting. He said that even though no trophy’s were won in 2010, he was very happy with the way the year turned out for the club with most teams reaching the knockout stages of the championship and very competitive all through. They also gave great entertainment to all the supporters who attended their games. He stated that overall it was a very good year for all aspects of the club with major development progressing very well in Kilnadeema pitch and also a new Ball Wall was added in Leitrim. John thanked all managers and Selectors who gave up so much of their time during the year to help each team. He thought the Intermediate team did very well reaching the championship semi final and winning the league later on. He thought the Junior B team did very well only to come up against a very strong Castlegar side in the quarterfinal. He was particularly delighted with the amount of players who turned out for the Junior C team during the year. The team he thought were most unlucky of all the teams were the Under 21 team, which reached the semi final. John said he was delighted with all Juvenile sides even though they did not win any titles. The Chairman then spoke about the new 5 year club plan which was presented to the meeting and he was hoping would be supported. He thanked all involved in bringing it to this stage especially Jim Collins who is the driving force behind the plan. John then spoke about all the fundraising, which took place during the year with the night at the dogs very successful. He said the club were very lucky with their entire sponsors especially main sponsor Fergal Leahy Pharmacy. There was also a special mention for Declan Power Sports, who sponsored a new set of club jerseys. John then thanked all involved in the club lotto, which was very successful again in 2010, especially all who purchased tickets during the year and he congratulated the two jackpot winners, John Horan and Gearoid Flynn. The Chairman then stated that he would like to see more social and cultural events in the coming year organised by the club.
