Not a huge crowd here but it clearly means so much to Leitrim to win a trophy in Croke Park. One the GAA's better ideas to let them play there.

@LeitrimToday @LeitrimGAA @TConlonthecouch @officialgaa Fantastic win for Leitrim today in Croker. Great acceptance speech from the captain Devlan Molloy. Hopefully the footballers will emulate the feat.
