Ballinamore face O'Hara's Mohill repeat of 2021 Leitrim Co final

The stand-out fixture from round three of the Leitrim Connacht Gold senior football championship this weekend is Friday evening's meeting of the 2021 county finalists, holders Ballinamore Seán O'Heslin's and Mohill.

Ballinamore ended a 31-year wait for the Fenagh Cup last October when they beat Mohill in a memorable county decider by 1-16 to 0-17.

Both teams go into Friday evening's game off the back of defeats in round 2.

Mohill, who are managed by Sligo's Eamonn O'Hara this year, have already clinched the Division 1 league title in Leitirm - but they were beaten by Fenagh St Caillin's last weekend, while Ballinamore lost to St Mary's.

Throw-in in Ballinamore is at 7pm.

In Friday's other game, Dromahair play Fenagh/St Caillin's at St Osnat's in Glencar.

The format to the Leitrim senior football championship has changed this year.

The 10 senior clubs will play four round-robin games.

The top two teams in the standings will qualify directly for the county semi-finals - with the next four sides contesting two quarter-finals.

The standings after two rounds of matches are as follows:

While defeat for Ballinamore or Mohill on Friday wouldn't be terminal, it would make their path to another county final more complicated.

The remaining round three fixtures will be played on Saturday evening (all 7pm).
