Leitrim come from 10 points down to beat Tyrone

Leitrim women's gaelic footballers made a rousing start to their TG4 All-Ireland intermediate football championship campaign on Sunday in Ballinamore, coming from 10 points down to beat Tyrone by one point in their Group 4 opener.

Leitrim won on a final scoreline of 4-12 to 5-8.

It was a stunning revival by Jonny Garrity as they trailed their Ulster opponents by 10 points at one stage in the second half.
