FL4: Leitrim gain revenge over Exiles
April 07, 2014
Leitrim's Wayne McKeon and Craig Burns of Roscommon during the Connacht FBD Football League Final. INPHO
London 1-7
Two goals in as many minutes from Robert Lowe and Wayne McKeon saw Leitrim edge a dour FL4 clash with London in Ruislip.
The home side enjoyed the perfect start when Greg Crowley goaled in the 4th minute but that was cancelled out by Lowe in the 20th minute and McKeon added a second shortly after.
The Connacht outfit finished the stronger and points from Darren Sweeney and Emlyn Mulligan helped them gain revenge for last year's Connacht SFC semi-final defeat by Paul Coggins' team.
