St Mary's v Leitrim Gaels clash highlight of final round of Connacht Gold SFC

The draw for the final round of group games in this year's Connacht Gold Leitrim SFC will pit neighbours and fellow parishioners St Mary's Kiltoghert and Leitrim Gaels against each other in the pick of the final round games.

The draw has seen most of the big guns avoid each other which is bad news for both battling against the drop with the bottom four teams facing three of the top four teams in the table after the third round of games this weekend.

The exception is the clash of 2022 winners St Mary's Kiltoghert who take on Leitrim Gaels in a game that both sides will be desperate to win, for very different reasons - a win for Alan Flynn's side gives them the chance to qualify for the top two places and an automatic semi-final spot while Leitrim Gaels may need a win to avoid being dragged into the relegation fight.

However, given the draw for the final round, the Gaels could still survive were they lose with bottom side St Patrick's Dromahair due to face Fenagh St Caillins while Gortletteragh, who could vault up the table with a victory, face an Aughawillan side who need at least a point to secure their playoff spot.

Annaduff take on reigning champions and neighbours Mohill in a derby while Glencar Manorhamilton, who need other results to go their way, must defeat a high scoring Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins.

REPORT: FENAGH PICK UP FIRST WIN AS THEY TURN ON THE STYLE IN THE SECOND HALF

The formbook would suggest Fenagh, Aughawillan, Mohill and Ballinamore pick up wins which would be enough to see them all qualify while the result of the St Mary's and Leitrim Gaels clash could have huge implications for quite a few teams.

In the Smith Monumentals IFC, leaders Kiltubrid were handed a home clash with third place Drumkeerin while bottom of the table Ballinaglera and Drumreilly have been drawn against Melvin Gaels and St Mary's Kiltoghert respectively. The draw is completed by Aughnasheelin hosting Carrigallen while Allen Gaels visit Aughavas with just four point separating all ten teams with two games remaining.
