Croke Park beckons for Fermanagh after they made it three wins from as many outings with a 2-14 to 1-14 success over Leitrim at Brewster Park this evening.

The hosts overturned a 1-5 to 0-9 half-time deficit with Kevin McGarry's goal proving to be decisive at the final whistle.

Ciaran Corrigan found the back of the Leitrim net in the first-half while Zak Moradi accounted for the Connacht outfit's goal shortly after the resumption.

Elsewhere, goals from Gary Cadden (2) and Aidan Walsh helped Sligo return to winning ways - 3-21 to 0-13 - against Lancashire in Pairc na hEireann.

Cadden found the back of the hosts' net twice in the first-half and the Yeats County led by 2-10 to 0-8 at the change of ends.

Lancashire were down to 14 men at that stage and Walsh's strike rounded off a convincing victory.
