Lidl National Football League Division 4 Antrim 5-8 Leitrim 3-10 By PJ Leddy ANTRIM, led by Bronagh Devlin, dominated a very entertaining and hard fought Lidl National Football League Division 4 league semi-final at Kingscourt and were full value for their four points over last year’s TG4 All-Ireland intermediate champions Leitrim.
