Emmett Lenehan RIP 

It was with great sadness that the club learned of the passing of one of our greats from our team of the ‘50s, Emmett Lenehan, last weekend in England. Emmett was another classy player, from the famed Lenehan football family of Gaigue, who could play in any position. He started his career with the county minors in 1950 at corner back and also played at wing forward and midfield where he displayed his “great catch and powerful kick”. He won a senior championship in 1951 where he was at corner back and throughout the year he displayed his “good hands and long clearance”. In the 4-3 to 1-8 final win over Mullinalaghta he was “in the thick of things right through”. He added another senior championship and senior league in 1953 and in the championship final himself and brother Frank contributed greatly to the victory over Colmcille. During this time, prior to the era of an U-21 grade, he also distinguished himself with the county juniors. The club added another title in 1955 with brothers Seán and Frank very much to the fore, while emigration had deprived Emmett of another medal. His skilful presence was sorely missed on the pitch in the following lean years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Emmett’s family and friends at this time. Solas na bhFlaitheas air

Coaching Workshop 

We had a brilliant coaching workshop in Monaduff on Saturday morning last. There was a fantastic turnout of coaches who came from all over the country in deplorable weather conditions. Thank you to Colm Nally, Paddy Christie & Davy Burke and our players (Sean Whelan, Kevin Whelan, Emmet Noonan, Aiden Gray, Mark Breslin, Mark Hughes, JP Farley, David Collum, Ciarán Cooney and Podge Gill) who braved the conditions! Thanks also to Lorraine Corrigan, Vanessa Mulleady and Anna Robinson from our Gaelic For Mothers & Others for providing refreshments. Thank you to Shane Stapleton of Our Game for coming to our grounds. We hope everyone who attended found it worthwhile. 

 

Sympathy 

The club extends its deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Teresa Donnelly (formerly Ballinamuck) and Teresa Cunningham (formerly Lettergullion) who both passed away last week. Solas na bhFlaitheas orthu. 

 

Thank You 

Ryan Francis’ name was inadvertently left out of the list of thanks in the notes last week. He was of course the team’s S&C and did a fantastic job with the lads all year. Thank you, Ryan! 

Intermediate Championship 

Hard luck to Fintan, Mick, Graham and the lads on their 3-4 to 1-9 defeat in the final last Sunday. It was a cruel way to lose but congratulations to Ballymahon and we wish them the best as they represent Longford in Leinster. The club would like to sincerely thank the aforementioned management team; backroom team of Paul Dowler, Gareth Donnelly, Lorraine Corrigan and Bridie Reilly; the executive lead by Mike Mulleady and a special mention to club sponsors the Davis Brothers who sponsored a set of jerseys and a meal for the players. Thank you to our wonderful supporters who really got behind the team. It is greatly appreciated. Congratulations to Colmcille on winning the senior title. We trailed 1-2 to 0-3 at half time but battled back and lead going into injury time by a point. Martin Cassidy kicked a fabulous point after a frontal charge on Pauric Gill incredibly went unpunished but Ballymahon struck for the killer goal with time up. We wish a speedy recovery to club stalwart Cian Brady (whose early retiral was a devastating blow) after suffering a very bad knee injury and Pauric Gill (broken nose and fractured jaw). Thank you to Bridie Reilly and Dr. Derek Gallagher for tending to the injured parties. The team and scorers were as follows: 

Paddy Collum; Stephen Cosgrove, Cian Brady, Paul McGee; Emmet Noonan, Gary Connell, JP Farley; Liam Lynch (0-2), David Collum; Pauric Gill (1-2), Conor Keenan, Sean Whelan; Mark Hughes (0-2), Martin Cassidy (0-3, 1f), Cian Cassidy.
