Roscommon 0-11; Leitrim 0-5: Roscommon accounted for Leitrim in the second-half at Hyde Park yesterday but Offaly's win over Monaghan meant Tom Carr's team missed out on promotion.
Nigel Dineen scored Roscommon's first point in the second minute, Michael Foley equalised and the visitors took the lead through Pat Farrell. Leitrim finished the half with two Declan Maxwell points.
Roscommon's Ger Heneghan opened the half with a point and Frankie Dolan brought the teams level from free. Jonathan Dunning put Roscommon ahead before Foley equalised. Points from Dolan and Dunning gave the home team the initiative.
