New York created history on Saturday by winning the county’s first ever game in the Connacht Senior Football Championship, edging Leitrim in a dramatic penalty shootout - the victory was sealed by the right boot of hometown hero Mike Brosnan who rifled the winning penalty home sparking scenes of wild celebrations as an avalanche of New York supporters surged onto the pitch.

I spoke to Shane Carthy after the game who said the win was one of the best moments of his career. Carthy, who won All-Irelands with Dublin in the past, has been commuting from Boston to play with the Empire State and was instrumental in last nights win, getting the equalizing point deep into injury time to send the game to extra time.

Goalkeeper Mick Cunningham, who pulled off a number of inspirational saves also joins us towards the end.
