Result

Leitrim 2-6
Antrim 1-9

[A Quinn Martin Production]

Saffrons were 1-4 to 0-1 up at one stage and then found themselves at 1-7 to 2-6 down near the end.  Looks like a couple of late scores salvaged a draw.

[DownFanatic]

Any team that are interested in a Minor Challenge game over the next three weeks please PM me.

Preferably we are looking for a Grade 2/Section B standard side.

We are willing to travel and to host (we have floodlit facilities for midweek games).

Thanks.

CJ's late free earns Antrim a draw - Leitrim 2-6 Antrim 1-9

On a day when the county hurlers and camogs both played out draws in their respective National League games a superbly struck free from almost fifty metres by substitute CJ McGourty earned Antrim footballers a share of the spoils in their away tie with Leitrim in Carrick-on-Shannon. It appeared that Antrim's unbeaten run in Division 4 of the National Football League was coming to an end when the home side led with only minutes remaining, but CJ stepped up to the mark to sned the ball between the uprights, despite kicking into a stiff breeze.
It had all looked good for Liam Bradley's men when they led by 1-4 to 0-2 after a wind assisted opening half, the scores from the Cargin contingent of Justin Crozier (1-1), Ciaran Close (0-2) and Michael McCann (0-1).
When McCann edged Antrim six clear early in the second-half they appeared to be course to pick up two precious league points but they conceded a bad goal when Leitrim substitute James Glancy found the net. All seemed well again when CJ McGourty and Kevin Brady pointed to put them four clear again, but once again the home side got in for a 'soft' goal, this time through left-half forward Emlyn Mulligan.
The same player brought them level and Glancy edged them ahead , but CJ saved the day for the Saffrons with a superbly struck equaliser to keep their promotion race on track.

ANTRIM – J Finucane, C Brady, S McVeigh, K O'Boyle, T Scullion, D O'Hagan, D McCann, M McCann, A Gallagher, J Loughrey, C Close, C Murray, K Brady, N McKeever, J Crozier.
SUBS – T McCann for Close (21), CJ McGourty for McKeever (47), M Poloock for Murray (62), S Burke for McVeigh (63).
