Leitrim SFC final: Dolan rescues Glencar/Manor

September 27, 2015

Leitrim's Adrian Croal

Glencar/Manorhamilton 1-9

Mohill 0-12

The Leitrim SFC final is heading for a replay for the first time in 19 years after Conor Dolan's injury-time free earned Glencar/Manor a dramatic draw with Mohill in Carrick-on-Shannon.

The sides must do battle again for the Fenagh Cup after an exciting and closely-fought contest. Mohill, seeking their first title since 2006, led by 0-5 to 0-2 before an Adrian Croal goal in the 20th minute helped Glencar/Manor to a 1-4 to 0-6 interval lead.

Ronan Flynn extended Glencar/Manor's advantage on the restart before a Darren McLoughlin-inspired Mohill reeled off six unanswered points to take control.

But Glencar/Manor grabbed the last four points of the game, including the late equaliser from Dolan, to earn another bite at the cherry.
