• Under 14 Final
  Our under 14 team came out second best in the eleven a side county final replay last Saturday. A physically stronger St Josephs team overcame our lighter team by a goal. 2-6 to 1-6 was the final score. Over the two games St Josephs were the better balanced team and deserve this county title, you will get no complaints from Kiltubrid on that score but we did feel that this game was perhaps a little over physical at times with one head high tackle on Aine Tighe a particularly dangerous one.

• Senior League Final
  This Saturday 26th we play Aughawillan in the senior league final in Aughnasheelin at 12.45. Its the clubs last game of the year in what has already been a very sucessful year in ladies football for the club and your support would be greatly appreciated.

14 November 2005

• Connacht Championship
  After twenty-four games our fantastic year came to an end last Saturday in the Connacht Club Championship Semi-Final against St. Brigids in Kiltoom on a score line of 1-07 to 1-11. After a great opening when Nick O’Donoghue found the net after twenty minutes we looked good for a three point lead at half-time only for Karol Mannion to find the net and also the posts to give Brigid’s a half-time lead of one point. The second half was nip and tuck for the first twenty minutes but the last ten minutes was the Frankie Dolan show where he kicked some class frees to edge the game in the Roscommon men’s favour. Team – Noel Gill, Enda McKeon, Fergal Meehan, Niall Foley, Aidan Bohan, Emmett Lee, Shane Foley, Karl Scollan, Christy Carroll, Conor Doherty, James Gill, Micheal Earley, Dara McKiernan, Barry Doyle and Nick O’Donoghue. Subs – John McGovern and Gearoid Foley.

• Supporters
  Once again our loyal band of supporters from the parish and throughout the county did themselves proud by outnumbering the Roscommon support in a 2,000 strong crowd in Kiltoom. Thanks also to the many messages of support prior to the game. Once again thanks to each and every one of you.

• AGM
  Our Club AGM takes place on the 10th December 2005.

• Kiltubrid Ladies Notes:
  

• Connacht Championship
  The dream of a Connacht championship ended for our men last Saturday in Kiltoom when St Brigits of Roscomman beat our gallant seniors in the Connacht semi final replay on a score of 1-11 to 1-07. Congratulations to all involved on a tremendous display over the two games. Well done lads ye gave us an unforgettble year and ye are great county champions.

07 November 2005

• Connaught Championship
  What can we say only that we are still in there with a shout in this years Connaught Club Football Championship thanks to a gutsy display especially in the second half at Pairc Sean last Sunday. Playing against the wind in the opening half the lads battled for their lives as St Bridgets played some very good patches of football earning them six points as we managed three in reply to leave us with some catching up to do for the final thirty minutes of the game. With only twenty five seconds from the resumption after half time Micheal Earley sent the ball over the bar from a good piece of play from our team. This was to give our team the platform on which the comeback was created. And what a second half performance we witnessed as we held the visitors to just three points for the remainder of the game. The extra time created by the ‘Cake’ lying on the ground to take the momentum out of our onslaught proved to be the period when we had some near misses before we got that all important point to level matters that takes us to Kiltoom for the replay next Saturday.

• Supporters.
  Overwhelmed by the level of our parish and all Leitrim support our club wishes to once again sincerely thank all of you for your huge support last Sunday. This means a lot to our team and everybody involved to know that we have your continued loyalty especially at this time of the year with the weather not being that friendly to spectators. Once again we appeal to you to try your best and be in Kiltoom where we hope to get the right result this time round. We cannot say enough in our efforts to thank each and everyone of you for what has been a great year so far for Kiltubrid and Leitrim at this level of competition. To further confuse people we will be back to wearing our own club colours for this game. Thanks to Leitrim county board for the use of the county away jerseys last Sunday.

• Replay in Kiltoom.
  The replay next Saturday in Kiltoom Co Roscommon has a throw in time of 2 pm.

• AGM
  Our Club AGM takes place on the 10th December 2005. This is good notice for everyone, and in this our clubs’ most successful year it should be a very well attended meeting. We make a special appeal for people to come forward and make this club a good sound organisation for all our young people who will form the teams of the future using our facilities in the years ahead.

• Match Programme
  We thank all who bought a match programme last Sunday and all those who helped out with selling them as well.

• Kiltubrid Ladies Gaa
  

• Well done lads
  Well done to the Kiltubrid mens senior team who fought back from a four point defecit in the Connacht club semi final last Sunday. They earned a well deserved draw against St Brigits of Roscomman. The replay is this Saturday the 12th of November in Kiltoom at 2 o'clock and we would urge as many of our members as possible to go and support the lads on Saturday.

31 October 2005

• Seniors
  Last Saturday both Kiltubrid and Bornacoola returned to the scene of the county final but on this occasion the men from Bornacoola did themselves justice with a strong second half display to level the game on a score line of 3-03 to 1-09. Team – Noel Gill, John McGovern, Fergal Meehan, Enda McKeon, Aidan Bohan, Emmett Lee, Niall Foley, Karl Scollan, Barry Doyle, Conor Doherty, Aidan McKiernan, Micheal Earley, Dara McKiernan, Adrian Lee and Gearoid Foley. Subs used – Christy Carroll, Stephen Guckian and Richard Mahon. This may not be the end of our league campaign as a win for Annaduff over St. Mary’s would put us and St. Mary’s into a play-off for the final.

• Connacht Championship
  We take on St.Brigid’s of Roscommon in the Connacht Club Semi-Final this Sunday 6th November at 2.30pm in Carrick following our memorable victory over Coolera/Strandhill three weeks ago. Your continued loyal support on the day to cheer the lads on will be greatly appreciated.

24 October 2005

• Passing of a Great Gael.
  The sad news filtered through on Sunday evening of the death of one of the great GAA personalities of County Leitrim, the late Cormac McGiolla. Best remembered in this community for his involvement in getting a Youth Band started back in 1992. A great lover of all things Irish, including its culture, its games, its music and indeed anything that promoted and maintained our heritage for future generations. A well known promoter of GAA Scor at Junior and Senior level, Cormac took a special interest in all aspects of this very important segment of our great national organisation that is the GAA. His weekly column of the Dromod notes in the Leitrim Observer was a most interesting piece of writing for all Observer readers. Despite ill health Cormac kept in touch with the people through this weekly column. I’m sure many tributes will appear to the memory of this great gael, but the loss of Cormac to his wife and family and the greater Bornacoola community will be hard to come to terms with in the days and weeks ahead. We offer our sincere sympathy to the Mc Gill family on their great loss. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

• Seniors
  We met the 2004 champions Annaduff in the league last Saturday in Dromod. In a tight game where both sides enjoyed the lead at various stages it was Annaduff who led by three points with little left on the clock when captain Christy Carroll stormed through the Annaduff defence and buried the ball to give Kiltubrid a share of the points on a scoreline of 1-09 to 3-03. Team – Noel Gill, John McGovern, Fergal Meehan, Enda McKeon, Aidan Bohan, Emmett Lee, Shane Foley, Christy Carroll, Karl Scollan, Conor Doherty, Niall Foley, Micheal Earley, Dara McKiernan, Nick O’Donoghue and James Gill. Subs Used – Gearoid Foley and Barry Doyle. Thanks to the Annaduff team for their guard of honour prior to the game. Next up in the league is a replay of the county final against Bornacoola.

• Connaught Championship
  Team preparations are going well for Sunday week’s game against St Brigids of Roscommon. The game itself has all the strains of a Roscommon v Leitrim encounter and should draw a good number of supporters to Pairc Sean from both sides of the Shannon. Unknown territory for Kiltubrid who find themselves representing Leitrim at the semi-final stage of this years Connaught Club Championship. Again we can depend on the great support similar to what turned out for the game in Sligo.

• Supporters Draw
  The planned draw next weekend has been put back to St. Stephens night due to current commitments in the club associated with the senior teams successful run this year. Tickets are still available from all club members. Prizes include a 42” Plasma TV, Digital Camcorder and numerous cash prizes. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

• AGM
  Our Club AGM has been penciled in for the 10th December 2005, please take note. This is good notice for everyone, and in this our clubs’ most successful year it should be a very well attended meeting.

• Under 14 draw

• Meeting
  County board officals will be meeting with all ladies clubs over the next few weeks to discuss club structures and the role of club officers especially the childrens officer. All matters relevant to the club will be discussed and ways to improve the competitions for the club. Players of all ages should attend as well as managers and officers.

17 October 2005

• Connaught Club Championship
  A Connaught semifinal spot appearance for our Seniors who had a five point winning margin over the Sligo champions Coolera/Strandhill in Sligo last Sunday. Playing on away from home at this level didn’t seem to inhibit any of the team as they took the game to Coolera from the throw in. This further step will give the team great confidence as they now face the Roscommon champions St Brigids on Sunday Nov 6th in Pairc Sean. Whatever the result this has been a wonderful year for the club and every good result from here on in is a bonus. The traveling support from the parish and from all over Leitrim was heartening and great encouragement for everyone involved with the club. We thank all of you for your support including everyone who sent messages of support before and following the game itself.

• Senior League.
  No rest for our Seniors as on this Saturday 22nd Oct as we travel to Bornacoola to play Annaduff. The game has a throw in time of 4.30 pm. Once again your support will give the team a lift on the day.

  Well done to neighbours Aughnasheelin on their Junior Championship final success last Sunday and commiserations to St Osnetts.

• Supporters Draw
  Last opportunity to get your tickets as our Club Draw draws near. Please use this opportunity to support the club as they have a tough time resource-wise coping with a very successful year to date at huge cost not to mention the ongoing development at the park. All club members are asked to sell a ticket and buy one as well. It could be you, watching the videos of our games played this year on your very own 42’’Plasma TV.

• Junior Champions 1981
  To mark the Silver Jubilee of the Junior Championship winning team of 1981 a special weekend is planned for mid July 2006. All members of this panel of players both at home and those living in exile are invited to join in the celebrations. Its an opportunity possibly for those of you living abroad to make arrangements to have a holiday at that time in Ireland and be around for the weekend of 14th, 15th and 16th July 2006. The club would like if all of you can make it.

• Kiltubrid Ladies GAA

• Cardiffs
  We would like to sincerely thank Cardiffs Drumcong for their after match refreshment on Sunday and for all their generous hospitality during the year.

10 October 2005

• Seniors
  We got our league campaign back on track with a win over St. Marys last Sunday on a score line of 1-07 to 0-06. In a tight game the Carrick men went in ahead at the break by slenderest of margins 0-3 to 0-2. The second half was another tight affair but the turning point of the game came when Dara McKiernan caught brilliantly and finished superbly to the back of the net. Team – Noel Gill, Enda McKeon, Fergal Meehan, Gerry Winters, John McGovern, Emmett Lee, Shane Foley, Karl Scollan, Christy Carroll, Gearoid Foley, Conor Doherty, Micheal Earley, Dara McKiernan, Niall Foley and James Gill. Subs Used – Gerry Gilmartin, Aidan McKiernan and Stephen Guckian. Big thank you to the St. Mary’s team who formed a guard of honour for our team as they entered the field of play in recognition of their county championship success. Thanks to all supporters who turned out in their large numbers once again.

• Connaught Championship
  Next up for our Senior team is the little matter of a visit to Sligo to take on Coolera/Strandhill in the Connaught Club Quarter Final this Sunday 16th October at 2.30pm in Markievicz Park. While this is uncharted water for the lads no doubt they will not only do their Parish proud but also their County. All supporters are asked to at least match their County Final support by getting behind the team for this big game.

• Senior League.
  Next outing for our Seniors is on Saturday 22nd Oct as we travel to Annaduff to play the newly crowned Senior A Champions Annaduff (Congratulations in order) and on the following Sat 29th Oct we have a repeat of the county final pairings at home as the Bornacoola Team travel to Kiltubrid.

• Another Underage Title for the Girls
  Congratulations to the Under Sixteen Girls who held out against St Josephs to Capture county honors last Sunday in Fenagh.

• Kiltubrid Ladies Gaa
  

• Under 16s
  Our under 16 team had a hard earned win in the county final 9 a side competition. The Kiltubrid nine beat St Josephs by four points, but had to work very hard for their victory over a very strong St Josephs team. County chairperson Patrica Bohan when presenting the cup to our captain Siobhain Kelly had special words of praise for Aine Tighe who had a great game for Kiltubrid. Patrica was right of course but we think that all our team had especially good games in this match after our team had a slow start and our players really showed their metal when senior player Aoife Mc Weeney had to leave the field sick. Well done girls, our under 16 panel were Orla Mc Gourty, Kathy Beirne, Claire Kelly, Sinead Byrne, Siobhain Kelly(Capt.),Sinead Tighe,Tara Evans, Aoife Mc Weeney, Aine Tighe, Helene Duignan, Clodagh Foley, niamh Tighe, Ciara Mc Weeney and Christine Gill.

• Sponsorship
  All Kiltubrid ladies teams are doing well this year with the Senior B championship and 9 a side league secured at adult level and we are minor county champions and under 16 9 a side champions. We feel we are a club well worth supporting. We would be very greatful to anyone who would be willing to sponsor us in any way however small. Of course we are greatful to all our supporters who support our monthly lotto.

03 October 2005

• Seniors
  Our senior’s were brought back down to earth after their high of two weeks ago by Gortletteragh on a score line of 1-10 to 1-08 away last Sunday. The game began with a nice gesture by the Gortletteragh team who formed a guard of honor for the Kiltubrid team entering the field in recognition of their championship success, but that was where the goodwill ended as the Gortletteragh side raced into a 1-02 to no score lead after only about five minutes on the clock, but Kiltubrid battled back to within a point at the break. The second half was a tight and tense affair with both sides exchanging the lead at various stages but it was the Gortletteragh men’s greater resolve that saw them win by two points. Team – Noel Gill, Emmett Lee, Gerry Winters, Enda McKeon, Aidan Bohan, John McGovern, Shane Foley, Niall Foley, Karol Scollan, Conor Doherty, Adrian Lee, Stephen Guckian, Dara McKiernan, James Gill and Dermot McKeon. Subs Used – Gerry Gilmartin, Richard Mahon and Aidan McKiernan.

• Next Game for Seniors.
  In our next game in the Senior League we take on St Marys this Sunday 9th October in Kiltubrid park at 2.30 pm. All supporters please take note.

• Missing Jersey
  While our senior team were creating history on 18th September our number 28 jersey was removed from the dressing room during the senior final. Little does the person (known) who took this jersey realise that the cost of replacing an odd jersey to complete our full new set is rather expensive. Will the person who lives 21 miles from Drumcong and who took the jersey please do the honest thing and give it to any of the club officials in your own community.

• Kiltubrid Ladies Gaa
  

• All - Ireland Sevens
  Kiltubrid ladies were participating in the All-Ireland seven a -side tournament in Dublin last Saturday 1st of October. We were in a group with St Slyvester (Dublin), Park Ratheniska (Laois) and Mungret/St Pauls (Limrick). Kiltubrid girls had set out at six o'clock in the morning from Cardiffs and endured our bus breaking down but we still managed to get all our players to the Naomh Mearnog pitch in Portmarnack in time to play Mungret of Limrick. The Limrick team were a very strong and physically bigger team than Kiltubrid but were still lucky to over come us with a last minute goal. The score in this game was Kiltubrid 2-7 Mungrets 2-9. Our next game was against Park Rateniska from Laois this was a brilliant game, end to end stuff full of great goals and it finished Kiltubrid 7-7 Park Ratheniska 5-5. Our last game was against St Slyvesters and the Dublin girls got a bit of a run on us early on and had a good lead up with five minutes to go but Kiltubrid finished very strong with goals and ran out winners scoring 8-2 against 4-9 for St Slyvesters. What all this meant was that the group was tied with three teams on 6 points each and St Slyvesters out of the competition. Kiltubrid, Park Ratheniska and Mungret/St Pauls had to shoot it out from the 30 metre line. Each team had to take five free kicks and our girls kicked very well but unfortunatly lost out to Park ratheniska and Mungrets. Park Rateniska ended up outright winners of the intermediate championship beating Downpatrick from Down in the final and also accounted for Clonguish from Longford in the semi-final, congratulations to them and we must say hard luck to Aughawillan who narrowly lost the shield final.

• Thanks
  We would like to thank the trainer of Park Ratheniska who helped us with injuries to Claire Judge and Lisa Mc Weeney and we would like to thank the two bus drivers that rescued us on the road Saturday morning. Our full panel for the sevens tournament was Emer Horan, Sinead Meehan, Clare Judge, Claire Kelly, Siobhain Kelly, Emer Kelly, Lisa Mc Weeney, Aoife Mc Weeney, Helen Tighe, Aine Tighe, Sinead Tighe and Regina Bohan. Well done girls.

• U16 final
  We wish our u16 team good luck in the county final this Sunday the 9th of October. We take on St Josephs and also play them in the u14 final in a weeks time.

• Injuries
  We wish a speedy recovery to Clare Judge who received a knee injury in our first game against Mungret last saturday, also Lisa Mc Weeney received a knock in the game against St Slyvesters and of course Siobhain Carroll who has a knee injury since the county semi-final against Aughawillan.

• New Training Ground.
  Work is at an advanced stage on our training field thanks to Kieran McKeon and his staff who have worked hard to get this field to the stage it is at now. While doing this work the Car Park has been increased in size to accommodate a third more car parking spaces. The field when ready for use will double as a full size Juvenile Playing facility as well as a Training Field. The road entrance has been fenced off to provide an entrance and an exit for people attending training and games only. No further use of this ground as a general purpose area from now on would be appreciated. We thank all volunteers who assisted in having this work ready for the last week of our Senior Team’s Final preparations, also thanking the workers in the ESB for their assistance in having power restored as well. To offset costs associated with this development supporters are asked to make sure our upcoming draw is a success by maximising ticket sales. Tickets are available from all club members. Prizes include a 42” Plasma TV, Digital Camcorder and numerous cash prizes. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

• Sponsorship.
  The Club wish to thank most sincerely all who have helped out the Senior Team by sponsorship of match gear, financial donations etc.etc.. The cost of running the club and preparing any team is a well known fact to cause stretch marks on the purse strings of any treasurer. Without your support finances would be tight to say the least and with this in mind if you feel you can offer any further assistance the club would be more than grateful. All sponsors will be acknowledged as soon as things settle down for all officers who have been very busy handling all the extra work associated with the championship preparations and celebrations etc. not to mention the next stage.

• Celebrations Didn’t Forget the People of Niger.
  In the heat of all the after match celebrations and mayhem our less fortunate fellow human beings in the famine stricken country of Niger in Africa were not forgotten as club supporters decided to fill the cup with loose change rather than the out of fashion drink from the cup. Hoping that this gesture will propel the notion of having to fill any winning cup with a cocktail of alcohol out of existence for ever more. Thanking everyone who endorsed the idea in the euphoria of the celebrations also those who helped out with the collection and thanking all of you for digging into your pockets to the tune of over € 500 which will go towards the relief of the suffering people of Niger.

• Sympathy.
  We offer our sincere sympathy to Peter Heaney Fenagh on the death of his wife Gretta whose funeral took place last Saturday. May her soul rest in peace.

We wish her a speedy recovery.

• Senior league
  Because of recent results in the Senior league it is apparent that Kiltubrid have reached the league final with one outstanding game to be played, that game is against Aughawillan. We don't know yet when this game will be played because Aughawillan have reached the Connacht final against St Nathys from Sligo. We wish Aughawillan all the best as they go for Connacht glory.

• Sorry for the delay !
  Apologies for the delay in the notes - Chaotic few days - Celebration's took precedence !

• Senior
  Sunday 18th September 2005 is a date to be enshrined as the greatest ever in Kiltubrid GAA after we claimed our first ever Senior Championship title with a comprehensive win over Bornacoola on a score line of 4-11 to 0-07. Following a great start by Kiltubrid going 1-01 up after 3 minutes Bornacoola battled gamely to never let Kiltubrid go out of sight until the final twenty minutes when our forwards did what they have been threatening to do for the last few years and turn in a powerhouse display with some very well taken goals and points and while the forwards may have got the scores they were as always well backboned by our superb defence which has remained consistently solid throughout the championship campaign. While the players can take the credit for this historic victory it would be amiss of me not to mention Sean Hagan who has steered this team to victory ably assisted by his background team. Finally to our magnificent supporters who showed their great support by transforming the whole Parish into a sea of green and red and getting right behind the team not only in the final but over the whole Championship. The history making team and panel were – Noel Gill, Emmett Lee, Fergal Meehan, Enda McKeon, Aidan Bohan, Barry Doyle, Shane Foley, Karl Scollan, Christy Carroll, Conor Doherty, James Gill, Micheal Earley, Gearoid Foley, Nick O’Donoghue and Dara McKiernan. Subs Used – Niall Foley, Gerry Winters, Adrian Lee and John McGovern. Subs – Stephen Guckian, Gerry Gilmartin, David McGirl, Dermot McKeon, Micheal Bohan, Sean McKeon and Richard Mahon. The next step now is the Connacht Club Championship where our opponents will be Coolera/Strandhill from Sligo on the 16th October.

  Kiltubrid ladies had two games last week. On Wedensday last the 6th of July we traveled to Ilandeddy in Mayo which is a few miles outside Castlebar altough don't ask Miranda Burke for Directions! Anyway Kiltubrid were there to take on a Conamara team called Grainne Mhaols in the Connacht senior league. Grainne Mhaols had taken on Bornacoola ladies in last years Connacht junior championship played in Dromad and this is the club of current all-star Lisa Cohill. Our girls did not play with any great cohision in this game with a few exceptions but never gave up either. A strong wind didn't help and it was a draw at half time, Mhaols had the wind in the second half and made good use of it. Kiltubrids defence were quite stubborn and Aine Tighe and her mammy put in two great goals to put Kiltubrid in front with minutes to go but the Galway girls finally broke down our resistance and finished with a late goal and point to win on a score of Grainne Mhaols 1-9 Kiltubrid 2-3. Then on Sunday last it was back to more familiar surroundings in Kiltubrid park and a senior league game with Mohill. We were missing some of our regulars who were believe it or not getting some oxygen but the girls in the park in the swelting heat were lacking some oxygen themselves. Mohill had a lot of the ball and had some good chances but our defence this time were more than stubborn and held Mohill out. In the end we achieved a good victory on the score of Kiltubrid 1-5 Mohill 6 points. Well done girls.

• Injuries
