Last updated on .From the section Gaelic Games
Antrim kept their Division 4 Football League promotion hopes alive as they earned a comprehensive win over Leitrim at Carrick-on-Shannon.
The goals came early as Alan McLoughlin's fifth-minute Leitrim strike was immediately followed by Michael Pollock's Antrim three-pointer.
As Antrim took control, five CJ McGourty points helped them lead 1-12 to 1-5 at half-time.
McGourty extended his haul to eight as Antrim remained in control thereafter.
St Gall's attackers McGourty and Pollock combined very effectively in the Antrim attack while the Murray brothers Ryan and Conor also impressed along with Justin Crozier and Paddy McBride.
Antrim's win moves them to three points from three games.
They remain three points behind leaders Offaly who maintained their 100% record by beating Wicklow on Sunday.
However, the Saffrons are only two points behind Longford who currently occupy the second promotion slot, with Carlow also currently on five points.
Frank Fitzsimons's side drew with Carlow in their opener before slipping to a one-point defeat against Longford.
