Back home, while Leitrim footballers failed to advance in Connacht, their New York cousins on Saturday had a battling win over rivals NY Cavan. In the game of the weekend, county footballer Dan Doona for Leitrim starred as did his new teammate summer recruit, Garry Cassidy whose two fine goals helped edge Cavan by a point. Elsewhere, Cork footballers had an easy win over Sligo while champions Down were pushed all the way by Donegal. Yesterday also saw the start of the New York Hurling Championship and what a start it was as it was a repeat of last year’s final. It was a marvelous game, with champions Offaly looking to have secured the victory but a late Tipperary goal won a hard fought draw. Here to tell our listeners about all the action is New York reporter, Eugene Kyne.
