Leitrim GAA has issued a statement in light of criticism directed at the team and management following last weekend’s penalty shootout loss to New York.
Having finished at 0-15 each after extra time, New York won 2-0 on penalties to secure their first victory of any sort in senior Championship football at the 23rd attempt, having first taken part in the Connacht Championship back in 1999.
The Leitrim travelling party arrived back in Ireland on Tuesday and the county board posted a statement on its website congratulating New York on their achievement while thanking those who made the trip to support the team, but harsh comment directed at the players and management led by Andy Moran was also referenced.
