Leitrim boss quits as shaky Dubs get lift
Their display wouldn’t have induced too much confidence in the vociferous Dub support among the 8,000 in Carrick-On-Shannon on Saturday, however.When Barry Prior nailed a fine point in the 18th minute, it left the underdogs 0-3 to 0-2 up, and they looked the better team. Dublin were out-of-sorts and unsettled.
Alas, it was to be Leitrim’s last score for 45 minutes, something the manful efforts of their defence or Declan Rowley didn’t deserve. The Leitrim manager called it a day in the early evening in Carrick, and was swiftly followed into retirement by that servant of servants, Séamus Quinn.
