Martin Cunniffe admits Leitrim's hurlers were fortunate to get the better of Sligo.

After seeing his side battle past the Yeats County at Markievicz Park last weekend (1-15 to 2-10), the winning manager told The Leitrim Observer:

"We were lucky; it was touch and go. We are not being boastful about it. Our lads, fair play to them, they dug in and worked hard.

"It was nice to win. We were short a few. Four or five of our first team were missing, but we came down hopeful more than anything else.

"We have a chance to get to the final if we beat Warwickshire." Leitrim travel to Pairc na hEireann this Sunday and the winners of that match will advance to the Division 3B decider.
