TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Championship – quarter-finals
Leitrim v Roscommon; Ballinamore, 2pm
A Connacht final rematch pits Leitrim against Roscommon in what should be an intriguing game.
Not much has separated the sides in recent times and when they met in the provincial decider, Leitrim edged a high-scoring encounter by 3-12 to 0-19.
That win has fuelled them with confidence and helped to erase the disappointment of their Lidl NFL Division 4 campaign, when they fell at the semi-final hurdle against Limerick.
Roscommon are looking ahead to Division 2 football again next year after gaining promotion and they’ll be anxious to atone for that Connacht final loss.
Roscommon finished second behind Wexford in Group 3 of the All-Ireland series, as Leitrim, impressively, beat Tyrone and Wicklow to top Group 4.
Leitrim: M Monaghan; E Quigley, C Tyrrell, C Owens; S Reynolds, K Bruen, E Bruen; N Tighe, M Guckian (capt.); O Flynn, L O’Dowd, M Devaney; A Clancy, S Quinn, Á Redican.
Roscommon: H Cummins; A McGrath, E Irwin, S Fleming; R Fitzmaurice, S Wynne, J McDermott; C Cregg, L O’Rourke; L Fleming, K Nolan, E Thompson; A Hanly, A O’Connor, N Feeney (capt.).
