Leitrim suffered a 6-33 to 1-10 Connacht hurling league semi-final defeat to Roscommon at the Connacht GAA Air Dome on Wednesday evening.

They led by 1-20 to 0-7 at half-time and cruised to victory thereafter with five second-half goals.
The Galway development side beat New York in Wednesday’s second semi-final by 13 points.
Olcan Conway’s Leitrim will now face the Exiles in the shield final on Saturday, again at the Air Dome.
