Connaught Shield Quarter-Final
Saturday 21st January
Venue: Cleaveragh Astro-turf pitch
 
Leitrim Villa 2 - 4 Ballygawley Celtic (aet)
 
At a cold and windy Cleaveragh Sports ground in Sligo, Leitrim Villa put up a gutsy but ultimately unsuccessful challenge against Premier League outfit Ballygawley Celtic in the quarter-finals of the Connaught Shield. After an even start, Ballygawley took the lead on 20 mins with an unfortunate own goal. Leitrim battled back strongly however and equalised shortly after through an indirect free kick from Niall Beirne, then took the lead shortly after following a smart finish from Eunan Treacy. Just before half time, Ballygawley were awarded a penalty which was brilliantly saved by Mark Chandler, allowing Leitrim Villa to go into the break 2-1 up. Following the restart, it was a nip and tuck affair, with both sides creating chances until Ballygawley got their equaliser with less than 20 mins to go. 2-2 remained the final score until full time, with the match going into extra time. Early into the first ten minutes of extra time, Ballygawley score their third goal and added a fourth in the second period. Great all round performance by Leitrim, in a match that could have gone either way, and we wish Ballygawley the best of luck in the next round. Next match scheduled is away to Carrick Town on the 29th, with a 2pm kick-off.
 
Leitrim Villa Team: Mark Chandler, Luke Donnellan, Conor O'Brien, Gino McPartland, Stephen Sheeran, Niall Beirne, Niall Maxwell, Rafa Numancek, Brian Gilroy, Alan Gaffney, Eunan Treacy. Subs used: John
