See a fabulous matchwinning performance by Aine Tighe for Leitrim in the TG4 All Ireland Intermediate Quarter-finals against Clare in Birr. The full-forward scored three goals and made the fourth in a 4-7 to 1-12 victory.

'She's probably one of the best forwards in the country', says Leitrim manager Pat Costello. 'You can talk about Cora Staunton but that's at Senior football. If Aine played senior football, she'd be the Gooch of every county in Ireland. She's a great player with a great attitude'.

Leitrim captain Sarah McLoughlin admits that her team 'relied a lot on Aine today and on a lot of luck' but says they are now eager to make amends for last year's semi-final extra-time defeat to Down when they take on Waterford on Saturday week.
