GLENCAR/MANORHAMILTON GAA CLUB NOTES 1969 JUNIOR LEAGUE WINNERS On Sunday last the 07th June the members of the 1969 Junior League Winners travelled to the Bee Park to mark the anniversary of the first Leitrim Title claimed by the Club 40 years ago. The day started with a Requiem Mass for deceased members of the Glencar/Manorhamilton GAA Club at 11.30am in St. Clare's Church. Afterwards the team proceeded to the Bee Park to watch the all North Leitrim Division 1 League game between Melvin Gaels and ourselves. Afterwards the Hurlers played a challenge which was followed by a blitz by our underage players. The team then proceeded to the Community Centre for refreshments where Paddy McEneaney made a presentation to the team. FÉILE With the Club representing Leitrim in both the Football & Hurling Féile weekends efforts are underway to raise money to get the kids ready for their trips away. The Hurlers have already bag packed in Sligo to raise money for their trip to Offaly/Laois where it is been jointly hosted. While the footballers completed their 10k sponsored walk for their trip to Kildare. More information will follow on this shortly. HURLING NEWS Indoor Hurling finished for underage. U12's had travelled to Ballinasloe where they reached the semi-finals. They played Padraig Pearses, Galway, Toureen of Mayo and Padraig Pearses of Roscommon. Our U14's beat Tourlestrane last Wednesday in a very tough game. Kevin Clerkin, Daryl Hannon, Connor Hurd & Michael Gilgunn put in great performances. The U14's also travelled to Newtownforbes to a blitz on Monday last. Thanks to those parents who travelled to these blitzes and put in the effort to make these games possible. LADIES NEWS The ladies play Dromahair this Sunday in the 9aside competition. This is an away fixture and all support will be greatly appreciated. Training continues as usual. DIVISION 1 LEAGUE Well done to our senior team who fought to the end to secure a three point win over Melvin Gaels. It was Melvin Gaels who went in at half time with a one point lead with the score standing at 0-04 to 0-03. However, Melvin Gaels were reduced to 14 men for the second half and this gave Glencar Manor a chance to take advantage and they scored 1-03 in the first ten minutes of the second half. Melvin Gaels then replied with 1-02 themselves, however Manorhamilton finished stronger and scored the last three points of the game. It was great to see such a big crowd in the Park for the game. FIXTURES This weekend will see another Division 1 League game with our seniors travelling to Gortletteragh for a 1.15pm start, while afterwards our Division 3 team will travel to Mohill with a 3.15pm start.
