Sligo’s second successive defeat sees them prop up the rest in Division 3, while Meath have their sights firmly set on promotion to the second tier.
But Leitrim, chasing a second successive League win, responded early in the second half with goals from Dearbahile Beirne and Vivienne Egan.
Leitrim skipper Michelle Heslin added another goal for the visitors, who were back to within four points, before Orla Corr’s goal settled Antrim nerves.
Anna McCann did brilliant to keep out a penalty from Leitrim’s Beirne late on but Egan struck her second goal shortly after to keep Leitrim in the hunt.
Cathy Carey’s goal in the dying seconds sealed the victory for Antrim, who will look to build on this win when they face Kilkenny next weekend.
