The opening goal of the game, scored by New York's Shane Horgan had Leitrim supporters contemplating the prospect of defeat and it got worse for Leitrim as the hosts opened up a six point lead before Leitrim launched their comeback.

After an epic encounter there was no separating the sides after 70 minutes and for the second time Leitrim and New York needed extra-time to find a winner.

Ultimately it was to be Aughawillan's Noel Plunkett who was to be the Leitrim hero as his late, late point secured a dramatic victory.

Fair play to both @LeitrimGAA and @NewYorkGAA for what looked like a classic in the Bronx. Surely New York’s first championship win can’t be too far away. Serious fight shown by Leitrim as well, who looked dead and buried in extra time #TheToughest pic.twitter.com/4ruOuATVaq

I know everyone is happy for Leitrim but remember the New York sporting public are after witnessing awful seasons for the Giants, Knicks, and Rangers. This loss will hit them hard tonight.

Nothing against New York but delighted for Leitrim. The system is doing them a complete disservice but with everything weighed against them, it would have been devastating to lose that. They have another two games now #GAA

Listening to the New York Vs Leitrim game on the radio was compelling stuff. If the championship remains that exciting we are in for one hell of a year #championship #gaa #rteradio

As a Leitrim native that was too close for comfort. Heroic comeback by Leitrim but New York surely deserve another chance in the qualifiers #LeitrimGAA
