“We’ve now competed in a NFL league final, won back to back Connacht titles and reached the last 8 of the All Ireland intermediate championship in the space of 2 and half seasons. There is no reason that this success can’t continue”.

“I thank all our sponsors especially MFC, our kit suppliers, Gotham Drywall New York, and anyone else who has kindly sponsored or donated over the past three years”.

“A special thanks to the clubs and their managers and to all the players who represented Leitrim in the past three years” added Donnelly.

Hugh's tenure with Leitrim resulted in Intermediate Championship quarter final and Division 4 league final appearances and more importantly, back to back Connacht Intermediate Championship titles.    Hugh and his backroom team have brought Leitrim Ladies through a period of growth and development.  Over the last 3 years, Leitrim Ladies have caught the imagination of the Leitrim public and we are proud of, and indebted to, team and management.

We wish Hugh and his family every success in the future and we thank him for his dedication, professionalism and all he has done for Leitrim LGFA”.
