Leitrim celebrate promotion from Division 4

Leitrim gaelic footballers beat London by 1-9 to 0-7 at Avantcard Páirc Seán MacDiarmada on Sunday afternoon in Division 4 of the Allianz Football League - and with it promotion to Division 3 next season.

There were great scenes of jubilation at the final whistle.

Shane Quinn's first-half goal gave Leitrim a 1-4 to 0-4 advantage - and they pushed clear in the second 35 minutes.

Here's how the Ocean FM Sport commentary team of John Lynch and Aidan Rooney described the closing stages:
