Leitrim’s dreams of a first Connacht Final in 13 years died a horrible death last Sunday in Hyde Park after a true “Jekyll & Hyde” performance.
The phrase “Jekyll & Hyde” were heard all too frequently after Sunday’s dramatic Connacht Semi-Final replay loss but it was more a case of Jekyll in the Hyde for Leitrim’s long suffering fans.
An awful first half performance saw London in dreamland as they steam-rolled Leitrim on their way to a 2-10 to 0-2 halftime lead, a lead that not even the most die-hard Leitrim fan could see the Green & Gold pulling back, such was the power of London’s performance.

However, there was one final cruel twist of the knife as Leitrim missed two glorious late chances to send the game to extra-time as London reached their first ever Connacht Final.
