Leitrim escaped their home tie with London with a draw thanks to two late points. The Connacht semi-final will go to a replay following a tight game that finished with the exiles scoring 2-7 to Leitrim’s 0-13.

London hit the front just before half time, with a Lorcan Mulvey goal on 34 minutes putting them in front as they went in at the break.

The exiles were pegged back by a Leitrim resurgence, and they were two points down on 57 minutes but quickly hit back with their second goal – from substitute Sean Kelly.
