From the moment Grace Cullen converted a penalty for the opening Longford goal with just a minute gone on the clock, the outcome was never really in any doubt and the wide margin of 12 points separated the sides in the finish.
Longford . . . 3-14 Leitrim . . . 1-8
Longford were much too strong for Leitrim in the Ladies Football All-Ireland U-16 ‘C’ Championship semi-final at the Mullahoran grounds on Wednesday evening in advancing with considerable ease to the title decider against Armagh on July 13.
Impressive midfielder Sian Gallagher scored the second goal in the 25th minute to leave Dermot Murphy’s side in a comfortable 2-4 to 0-4 lead and when substitute Oyindamola Sotunbo shot to the Leitrim net midway through the second half, the Longford advantage was extended to a commanding ten points.
