Carlow maintained their perfect run in Division 4 of the Lidl National Football League when they chalked up their seventh win of the campaign and in the process inflicted a first defeat of the season on Leitrim.
Carlow trailed by 0-7 to 0-1 at the break but then took over after the restart and ran out 2-7 to 0-11 winners.
They will now take on either Offaly or Longford in the semi-finals while Leitrim will meet neighbours Sligo in the last four. Longford and Offalyare tied on nine points each with just their refixed match to come in the division.
Leitrim, who ended with Leah Fox hitting 0-5 and Michelle Guckian 0-3, led by six points at the break but second half goals from Cliodhna Ni She, a penalty, and Aibha Kiernan were enough for Carlow top finish top of the table with Sarah Doyle shooting 0-4.
Sligo, who were already through to the semi-finals, wrapped up their schedule with a 2-17 to 1-11 win over Wicklow, having led by 2-11 to 0-4 at the break.
Longford, who led by 0-11 to 1-3 at the interval, kept their semi-final hopes alive with a 3-19 to 1-5 win over Kilkenny.
And Offaly also warmed up for their showdown with Longford by defeating Derry by 3-14 to 1-8, having led by 2-6 to 0-6 at the break.
