Gary plunkett? Was he wearing number 8? I thought he was class. Number 11 is a serious operation on the ball as well. Enjoyed my first Leitrim county final day...some great football played. Congratulations @AughawillanGAA

Well done Aughwillan @LeitrimGAA Tommy McCormack’s record of never losing a County Final as a manager or player continues!

Tough to lose county final but @MohillGAA will rise again. Tonight however belongs to @AughawillanGAA. As the brother Karl said, Willies won in 14, 16 & 18, each final underdogs against 3 towns. Never underestimate them, an unbelievable club, about a population of 400. Respect.

travelled from Cavan border to day through Leitim,Sligo, GAA is alive & well in those counties-Fenagh,Aughawilliam etc,bonfires for Tourlestrane who beat Tubbercurry,this is real heart of GAA,neither county likely to win Sam but stay the course all the time & need more praise
