2011 Leinster Senior Football Championship

Last updated

The 2011 Leinster Senior Football Championship was that year's installment of the annual Leinster Senior Football Championship held under the auspices of the Leinster GAA. It was won by Dublin who defeated Wexford in the final. [1] Dublin had been level with Kildare in injury time of their semi-final, but a late intervention by Cormac Reilly was enough to see them over the line by a point. Dublin won their 50th Leinster football title, and their sixth in seven years. Pundits lashed them for their lackadaisical approach and described it as having been won in "perhaps the most unconvincing fashion of the lot." Wexford had not won a Leinster football title since 1945. [2]
