Pairc Sean O’Laodain Memorial Park: 20th Anniversary of Opening.
This weekend we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Official opening of our playing facilities dedicated to the memory of Sean Leyden. Sean who was a brilliant club and county stalwart died in an accident on June 27th 1978 just 20 years of age. We especially remember him and all our deceased members who have passed to their eternal reward by having open mass in the park on Sunday next 1st May at 12-noon weather permitting. This will be a unique and beautiful occasion and we urge people to make a special effort to attend this mass. Many thanks to our parish priest Fr. Nigel Charles for his wonderful help in organising this special event. This mass will be dedicated to the memory of Sean and to all deceased members and supporters. Indeed since the opening of our grounds many of our loved ones who were present on that great occasion are not now with us. I know they are with us in spirit and would be proud of our achievements.

Scor Success
St Caillins were the toast of Connacht and Leitrim on Sunday 17th April when we took the All Ireland Novelty Act title back to Fenagh. On a night when Leitrim had four clubs taking part in the Finals in the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney, it was Fenagh who ensured it would be a great night for Leitrim. The Act “ Difficult Day at the Office” was a worthy winner over clubs from Cork, Tyrone and Wicklow. There were great scenes of jubilation as the results were announced and Fenagh won their first All Ireland Scor title and became the eight club from Leitrim to get All Ireland Scor success. Huge credit to all whom put in huge hours into practice for this historic day.
Cast: TP McLoughlin, Shane O’Rourke, Seamus Mollaghan, Betty Doonan and Eamon Og Tubman.
Managers: Eilleen Doonan and Teresa Ellis.
Costume: Design Margaret Doonan
Props: Kevin Doonan.
Great credit must go to all the supporters who travelled the long distance to Killarney and who gave tremendous support. A wonderful weekend was had by all and indeed thanks to all our friends from the Aughnasheelin, Glencar/Manorhamilton, and the Dromahair clubs who although disappointed themselves celebrated with us well into Monday morning
A huge welcome home party got under way on Monday night in Fenagh and there were unforgettable scenes as the rally bringing home our heroes was welcomed by fireworks, bonfires and hundreds of people.
Fenaghs success also had the effect of pushing Leitrim’s tally of All Ireland Scor Sinsear successes to 18, which puts them into top position, which is shared with Galway and Limerick.
Photographs of this historic victory for the club will follow in 5-6 weeks time.
