A breathtaking encounter at Carrick-on-Shannon ended with Roscommon snatching a draw at the end of normal time and then just about holding off a late Leitrim surge in extra time last night.

Sligo 3-12 Leitrim 3-7: Five unanswered points in the last 10 minutes set up Sligo’s five-point defeat of plucky neighbours Leitrim in an eventually enthralling Connacht MFC semi-final at Markievicz Park.
