Leitrim Minor Football Championship
The Leitrim Minor A Football Championship is a Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Leitrim GAA between the top teams in Minor Gaelic football in County Leitrim, Ireland. The trophy awarded for the championship is the O'Dolan Cup. The current 2016 Minor A Champions of Leitrim are Melvin Gaels beating holders St Manchans after a replay to win their first ever Minor A title. Lower-level teams play in the Leitrim Minor B Football Championship and up until 2012 the Minor C Football Championship, but due to rural teams amalgamating, the number of teams competing in the Minor A Football Championship has increased resulting in the removal of the C Championship.
