A few weeks back New York was bombarded with Leitrim supporters to take in the Connaught County Championship, while the game came and went without much excitement the same can't be said for the action around town. Green and Gold were present everywhere you looked. The buzz was about and everyone came out to see, as there's always fun to be had when there's a few extra thousand heads in the hood.
J.P.Clarke's seemed to be bar central as the loyal followers streamed heavily in out of the Salon all week long. Monday the bar hosted a going away party for the team which everyone turned out to say their farewells to the winners of the Connaght Championship. A good week was had by all, NY can settle down again till the coming of next May's team.
