Leitrim cut the summer short for Waterford

Leitrim 0-12 Waterford 0-8: There wasn’t quite the same fanfare that greeted Leitrim’s first qualifier win against Wicklow back in 2012, but Shane Ward’s side were far more convincing yesterday as they picked up their second backdoor victory in Carrick-on-Shannon.

Leitrim cut the summer short for Waterford

A 13-point defeat to Roscommon saw their Connacht championship campaign grind to a halt in May, but the hosts bounced back to extend their summer journey with a four points win over their Munster visitors.

Waterford are still without a championship win since 2011 and Tom McGlinchy’s side will rue 13 wides – although two of them looked like they could have been awarded by the ponderous umpires – while Patrick Hurney also missed a 13 metre free from in front of the posts in the first- half. McGlinchey didn’t want to be drawn on his future after two years at the helm but he hinted that it might be time for a change.
