Dolan trusted in Leitrim's fitness
July 10, 2014
Manager Martin Dolan knew Leitrim's ladies had the fitness to push on in the second half.
Speaking to The Leitrim Observer, Dolan revealed the strategy behind his team's 3-12 to 1-14 victory over Sligo in the Connacht intermediate championship final last weekend:
"We played against the wind in the first half but we won the toss - we actually chose to play against the wind.
"You see in finals that you normally take take ten minutes to get into them and we wanted to play with the wind in the second half because, historically, we finish very strong.
"We wanted to start very sharply in the second half - we got a goal and a point for the first two scores and it just happened from there."
