Connacht SFC wins for Leitrim and Sligo over New York and London
Connacht SFC quarter-final: New York 1-15 Leitrim 0-19 (after extra-time) NEW York suffered agony at the death last night as Leitrim snatched victory from under their noses to deny them victory in the Connacht Championship at the 20th time of asking. In a nail-biting encounter in The Bronx, which finished level at 1-12 to 0-15 at the end of normal time, it took a further 20 minutes of extra-time to separate the sides by the narrowest of margins. New York, driven on by Jamie Clarke, looked set to clinch a famous win until the men from the west pointed twice in the final minute of injury-time to get out of jail. There was a strong Ulster presence in the New York starting 15, with Cullyhanna’s Tony Donnelly and David Freeman from Clones lining out alongside Clarke.
