WHO WILL WIN IT?

The TG4 cameras will be there and fans will come in their droves to Avant Money Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada for Sunday's Connacht Gold Leitrim SFC Final (4.15 pm throw-in) as St Mary's Kiltoghert and Mohill do battle for the right to bring the Fenagh Cup home!

Incredibly, for a season with so many twists and turns, we face into repeat of last year's dramatic decider where St Mary's won their first title since 2013, Sunday's Final is the first repeat pairing in the Senior Final since 2011 when Glencar Manorhamilton defeated the Carrick men for a second year in a row.

Mohill are appearing in their eighth final since 2013, an incredible run of consistency while St Mary's are seeking to create their own history by becoming the first team from the club to retain the Fenagh Cup - something they didn't manage to do in 1996 and 2014 when they reached the final as defending champions.

Strangely, champions retaining their title has been a rare occurrence in Leitrim club football with only the legendary Glencar Manorhamilton four in a row team of 2008 to 2011 and the brilliant Allen Gaels side of 2001 and 2002 achieving the feat in the last quarter century.

Glencar Manorhamilton will have a presence on County Final day with the news that Vincent McMorrow has been appointed to officiate his first County Senior Final. McMorrow was the man in the middle for the final round group stages clash between the teams which Mohill won on a 1-11 to 0-11 scoreline in Philly McGuinness Park just five weeks ago.

St Mary's will also chase a Senior and Minor double for the second year in a row as they face Allen Gaels Fenagh St Caillins in the Newtowngore Engineering U17 Championship Division 1 Final on Saturday at 4 pm in Mohill's Philly McGuinness Park. The game had originally been scheduled as the curtain raiser next Sunday but concerns for the condition of the surface in Pairc Sean saw the game switched.
