Carrick on Shannon Community School had a marvellous win over St. Attracta's of Sligo on Friday, January 30th last.
Manager Seamus Mallon watched proudly on in Kilmore as his team trounched their rivals by 2-11 to 0-4 to be crowned Connacht juvenile B League Champions.
It was Carrick's prowess in physical strength, size and skill that proved too much for the Tubbercurry side. Conditions were atrocious in Kilmore with the pitch resembling a muddy warzone afterwards.
Crucial players on the day inculded a number of our Shannon Gael's stars - Liam Murtagh, Fintan Sweeney, Luke O' Dowd and David O' Dowd on the sideline.
Tubbercurry never fully settled into the match and whether it should have been playerd in such weather conditions was questioned.
The Leitrim lads undeniably proved worthy winners. Liam Murtagh was superb in mid-field working excellently alongside team captain Conor Farrell and scoring a number of terrific points.
Fintan Sweeney had the match of his life covering all aspects of the pitch, from the centre-half forward position back into his own defence. He also kicked a couple of brilliant scores.
Towards the end Mallon started to use the bench with a late score from Tubbercurry unable to ruffle any feathers.
Carrick had lost to St. Attractas by six points earlier on in the season, but came back in full force last Friday to claim a well-deserved Connact Colleges victory.
