Leitrim V London (Division 4 Football League)

Leitrim registered their second win of the NFL Division 4 when they proved too strong for London in their home fixture with the exiles yesterday (Sunday 21/3/10).  Leitrim excelled in all sectors of the field and recorded an impressive 15 point victory (25 points to Londons 0-10)

The home side started impressively and raced into a 0-5 to no score lead in the first 10 minutes thanks to scores from James Glancy (Glencar/Manor), Shane Canning, James Glancy (St. Marys) and Wayne McKeon.  The Exiles responded with fine scores from Johnny Niblock, Kevin McMenamin and Derek Hayden but Leitrim responded assertively by Scóring nine unanswered points to take a commanding 0-15 to 0-4 lead at the half time whistle.

Leitrim had a major let-off at the start of the second half when the impressive former Donegal Player Kevin McMenamin rattled the crossbar.  The home side steadied themselves after this and they went on to record a facile win. Final score Leitrim 0-25, London 0-10.
