Champions St Mary's on road as new League champions Fenagh St Caillins host Leitrim Gaels

St Mary's Kiltoghert will begin the defence of the Fenagh Cup by travelling to take on Gortletteragh in the first round of the Connacht Gold Leitrim Senior Football Championship next weekend while newly crowned Masonite Division 1 champions Fenagh St Caillins will host Letirim Gaels.

In an intriguing draw made after the conclusion of the Masonite Division 1 League that went to extra time before Fenagh St Caillins claimed a 2-12 to 2-10 victory over St Mary's, the draw threw up some interesting games with former kingpins Mohill drawn to face 2021 Intermediate winners St Patrick's Dromahair in Dromahair while 2021 winners Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins will host fellow parishioners Aughnasheelin in a local derby.

In the Smith Monumentals Intermediate Championship, newly crowned Masonite Division 2 champions Allen Gaels will host Bornacoola while last year's defeated finalists Annaduff are on the road to Kiltubrid. 2022 Junior winners Carrigallen will host a Drumkeerin team who defeated Gortletteragh in the Masonite Division 3 Final on Saturday in Drumkeerin, winning 2-7 to 0-9.
