Roscommon snatch win in Carrick cracker

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. It sets up a home semi-final clash with Galway next Wednesday.

Two early goals from Mark Diffley and another from Jordan Reynolds gave Leitrim a 3-4 to 1-5 half-time lead, and when Oisín Bohan picked out the bottom corner in the 41st minute, Leitrim looked wellset for victory, with the wind at their backs.
