Glencar/Manorhamilton and Aughawillan will face off in this year's Leitrim SFC final after coming through their respective semi-finals at the weekend. 

On Saturday, Glencar/Manor - who lost last year's decider to Mohill after a replay - scored six unanswered points in the last quarter to overcome St. Mary's on a 0-12 to 0-7 scoreline. The sides were level at half-time and it remained nip-and-tuck until Glencar/Manor's late surge yielded scores from James Glancy (two), Conor Dolan, Aaron Hickey, substitute Adrian Croal and Brian McDonald.

2014 champions Aughawillan had just a point to spare - 0-9 to 1-5 - over Gortletteragh in yesterday's second semi-final at Pairc Sean.

The Willies led by 0-4 to 0-2 at the interval, but needed a late Niall Beirne point to prevail after Gortletteragh substitute Padraig Gallagher raised the game's only green flag in the 47th minute.
