We left it too late, says Flanagan

GUTTED Westmeath boss Pat Flanagan felt his side only played to their potential in the final quarter of yesterday’s Leinster SFC semi-final defeat to Louth.

He said: “It was only in the last 15 minutes that we really put our game together.”

But by then the damage was done. “We gave away too much ball in the first half, and we didn’t keep enough possession. We were penalised big-time.”
