Leitrim sub Noel Plunkett has been reliving his dramatic match-winning point against New York.

The Aughawillian defender provided an unlikely hero as Brendan Guckian's men snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in added on time in extra-time at Gaelic Park last evening.

"No, I have never done anything like that before. I don't think I ever kicked a score that won a match," the 25-year-old revealed to the Irish Examiner.

"That was a very good New York team and at the end of the day we worked hard and that group of players out there never give in full stop we always believe in each other and the management believed in us. It was hard work and we never give in and at the end of the day that's all that counts.

"We got over this game now so our minds will be totally focused on the next two weeks now and hopefully we can bring a good performance against Roscommon again at Park Sean (in the Connacht SFC semi-final).

"I knew this team would never lie down, that's what we're made of."
