St Mary’s battle back from the brink to oust champs

A late St Mary’s rally put Leitrim county champions Melvin Gaels out of this year’s competition in Saturday’s hard-fought quarter-final replay at Drumshanbo.

The Carrick side triumphed by 0-10 to 0-7, despite David McSharry shooting the Gaels into a 0-7 to 0-3 after 42 minutes.

St Mary’s closed the gap to the minimum with scores from Alan Doherty, Robbie Lowe and Conor McWeeney in the space of four minutes.
