It was very much a case of so near and yet so far for the New York footballers as Leitrim shaded a thrilling Gaelic Park contest...
Hard luck lads - beat by a point!

Draw again in Gaelic Park. Brings back memories of 2003 and the incredible tension of that game. Extra time now. Exciting stuff and all to play for. This game will provide more excitement than many of the Championship games later in the year.

Would have been nice to be able to watch that exciting contest between @NewYorkGAA and @LeitrimGAA but sure it's not the super 8's so doesn't matter #opportunitymissed

That is heartbreaking stuff. Absolutely gutted for the @CavanLGFA girls! Serious character and grit. Did Cavan proud! A strange strange ending to a game.
