The Leitrim team who defeated London in Ruislip
There may have been hundreds of Leitrim fans in McGovern Park in Ruislip today but there was plenty of Green & Gold devotees following the action online, on radio and on social media.
The Leitrim Observer takes a look at some of the reaction from players and fans after Leitrim's 3-10 to 0-16 victory over London, a win that qualifies the Green & Gold for a June 18, meeting with Roscommon in Dr Hyde Park.
The reaction from an obviously happy Leitrim camp

Paddy O'Brien, again, isn't too happy with The Sunday Game!
Why isnt the Leitrim London game front and centre on the #SundayGame? A population of almost 9million people between both places. A disgrace
