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 sees the bigger picture
Take the 3 point win for @LeitrimGAA considering everything. A bit of experience under a lot of belts, and good to get 3 goals.

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
