Leitrim stars make waves on foreign shores

Leitrim native footballers are playing and winning championships abroad.

The Club Championship is well and truly in full flow at the moment, but among Ireland's exiles, the Club season has reached a climax with finals in Chicago and Western Australia.

Paul Honeyman (Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins) and Colm O'Reilly and Daniel Martin (St. Mary's Kiltoghert), left, won Senior titles with Padraig Pearses in Chicago recently, Daniel also a member of the intermediate championship winning team, while, left, St Mary's duo Michael McWeeney and Diarmuid Kelleher helped St Finbarr's Perth to the Senior title in the Western Australian Championships.
