New York manager Justin O'Halloran is aiming to mastermind a first ever Connacht SFC success in Gaelic Park tomorrow evening.
A member of the panel that participated in the Connacht championship for the first time back in 1999, O'Halloran hopes the effort that his players have put in will pay off when they play host to Leitrim.
"Personally it would probably be the best day on a football field ever," he replied to gaa.ie when asked what a win would mean to him and his team.
"For the group I'm sure some of the lads have played on a bigger stage. As a group together it would be absolutely huge. The effort everybody has put in and I know teams are putting in the same effort at home. It is different when you are not getting games to play like no National League or whatever.
"It can be harder to keep yourself focused and motivated I guess if you want to put it that way. A win would be huge, absolutely huge."
