There were mixed fortunes for the north Leitrim clubs in Saturday evening’s opening matches of the 2021 Connacht Gold senior football championship.
Glencar/Manorhamilton, who’ve had a poor 2021 to date, were beaten by last year’s county finalists St Mary’s by seven points in their opening Group 2 match at Boggaun.
Melvin Gaels trip to Gortletteragh was more positive as they beat the recently crowned 2020 intermediate champions by a similar scoreline.
The holders Mohill enjoyed a big win over Allen Gaels in their opening Group 1 match, running in six goals at Philly McGuinness Park.
And – Fenagh/St Caillin’s beat Sean O’Heslin’s by a goal.
