Leitrim manager Pat Costello was in top tune after his side won the Connacht intermediate ladies football title.

Following Sunday's three-point victory over Sligo, he told The Leitrim Observer: "I'm absolutely thrilled. We had to fight to the death for it. It was there for anyone to take it and I think we showed more hunger and more desire and I think the fact that we were Connacht champions last year stood to them.

"We got a lot of dirty ball that we really scrapped for and decisions went our way, the breaks went our way. That's all luck but it is all good luck and that's part of it and I'm delighted for the women."
