New Longford senior hurling manager Adrian Moran opted to field a fairly experimental team in Round 2 of the Kehoe Shield Tournament against Louth at the Darver Centre of Excellence on Sunday and it resulted in a comprehensive defeat for the visitors.
Louth . . . 2-23 Longford . . . 0-13
Some newcomers were given the opportunity to stake a claim for a place on the team in preparation for the start of the National League Division 3B campaign at home to Fermanagh on Sunday February 13.
Louth, who held a commanding 1-14 to 0-5 lead at half-time, had ten different scorers on the day but one man that stood out was Knockbridge's Conor Deane who tormented the Longford defence throughout, finishing up as the game’s top scorer with six points, all impressively from open play.
The chief marksman for Longford was Cian Kavanagh who fired over a total of six points.
LOUTH: Ruairi Morrissey; Adam Plunkett, Danny Morgan, Sean Magill; Sean Hodgins, Conor Quigley, Jamie McDonnell (0-1); Peter Fortune (0-1), Feidhelm Joyce; Seanie Crosbie (0-3), Paul Matthews (1-1), Seaghan Conneely (0-1); Conor Deane (0-6), Gareth Hall, Mark Gahan (0-5, 0-4 frees).
