Connacht Senior Football Championship Quarter-Final
New York v Leitrim, Gaelic Park, 7.15pm (Irish time)
New York’s quest for a Connacht Championship scalp continues with Justin O’Halloran’s charges intent on causing a surprise.
Leitrim bring a youthful panel to Gaelic Park for a tough test against a New York outfit peppered with proven inter-county talent.
Alan O’Mara, Neil Collins, Tom Cunniffe, and Jamie Clarke are extremely capable footballers involved for New York.
In 2017 Clarke was instrumental as Armagh stitched a four match winning sequence together in the All Ireland qualifiers.
Some of Leitrim’s most prominent names have recently returned to action with talisman Emlyn Mulligan participating in the closing rounds of the League following a cruciate ligament ailment.
NEW YORK: Vinny Cadden; Neil Collins, Donal Ward, Colin Keane; Enda Williams, Tom Cunniffe, Matthew Queenan; David Culhane, Shane Hogan; Tony Donnelly, Jamie Clarke, Luke Kelly; Kevin O'Grady, Dalton McDonagh, David Freeman.
