Leitrim V New York
Leitrim play New York in the opening game of the 2013 All Ireland Senior Championship in Gaelic Park, New York on Sunday next. Best of luck to the panel, management and all the backroom staff who are making the long trip to the Big Apple.
A number of our local supporters are also travelling over for the game. No doubt they will do their best to enjoy the game and more importantly the build up and the after match celebrations. We hope that there are a lot of old acquaintances which will be renewed over a few beverages. Just remember to adjust your watches so you don’t end up missing the important bit of the weekend. Enjoy and we wish everyone who travel a safe trip.
