Phelan and Finn leaving Exiles after Westmeath loss

London 0-11 Westmeath 1-15

The Dromina, Co Cork native who was awarded a Nicky Rackard Cup All-Star award with his adopted county in 2011, revealed he’d played his last game of inter-county hurling on a weekend when Exiles’ manager Eamonn Phelan announced he was quitting his post to return to Ireland — a decision he said he made long before Saturday’s game.

A goal from Brendan Murtagh on 50 minutes proved the decisive score for Westmeath as London squandered 11 first-half chances.
