Leitrim ladies fight back for Fermanagh victory

Leitrim ladies snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as they landed a 1-12 to 1-11 win over Fermanagh in Ballinamore.

Michelle Guickan’s kicked an equalising point on the 60^th minute with Guickan sending over a free in injury time to seal the one point win.

Early in the second-half Laura O’Dowd found the Fermanagh net and sparked a Leitrim comeback with Guickan scoring late on to secure the victory.
