Longford hurlers win again to remain on course to reach Division 3B league final

Action from the Longford v Leitrim National Hurling League Division 3B game in Carrick-on-Shannon on Sunday.

Longford senior hurlers produced the good, the bad and the ugly as they scored their second win in the National League Division 3B after withstanding a fierce Leitrim fightback at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada, Carrick on Sunday.

 

Allianz National Hurling League Division 3B - Round 2


Longford . . . . . 2-19     Leitrim . . . . . 3-13

Dominant Longford had built up a commanding 15 points lead early in the second half but two Leitrim goals in the space of a couple of minutes reignited a game that had seemed all over as a contest.

Just three points separated the sides at the final whistle and it was mainly due to the major impact made by Cathal Mullane (who scored 1-8) that Longford came out on top.
