Amid all the hand-wringing about one-sided provincial finals - on Saturday at least - Pat Spillane pointed to what he regarded as one of the bright spots of the weekend - the Tailteann Cup.
Enda McGinley has stepped down as Antrim senior football manager following their elimination from the Tailteann Cup after Saturday’s five-point loss to Leitrim in Carrick-on-Shannon.
Shane Moran and Jack Heslin's goals ensured victory for Leitrim in the Tailteann Cup at Carrick-on-Shannon and sent favourites Antrim home empty-handed.
Leitrim manager Andy Moran remained upbeat after his side's heavy defeat away to Galway - but acknowledged that the conditioning and skill-level of the home side really told after the break.
Galway advanced to a Connacht final showdown with Roscommon as they eased to a 23-point win over Andy Moran's Leitrim at Pearse Stadium by 4-20 to 0-09.
Ex-Leitrim manager Terry Hyland acknowledges that his former players will know there's "no opportunity" of progressing far in the All-Ireland championships but says they must approach games as if there is.
The final round of fixtures in Division 4 undermined the integrity of the league and doesn't bode well for the promotion of the Tailteann Cup, according to Ciarán Whelan.
Sligo wrapped up their Division 4 campaign with a deserved six-point home win over Leitrim.
