Leitrim hurlers outplayed by New York

New York GAA scored another intercounty victory over Leitrim on Tuesday by knocking the county's hurlers out of the Connacht hurling league at the GAA Airdome.

The exiles enjoyed a 4-26 to 1-14 quarter-final win over a Leitrim side without a number of regular players with nine players making their senior intercounty debuts in this game.

The winners controlled the match from a early stage, scoring three first-half goals to establish a 3-16 to 0-5 interval lead.

While Leitrim showed some improvement in the second half, New York were always comfortable on the scoreboard - and ran out convincing 21 point winners.

Leitrim hurling boss Olcan Conway spoke to PJ Leddy after Tuesday's loss.


Roscommon, who beat Sligo on Monday, will play Mayo in the other semi-final on Wednesday evening.
