Longford ladies secure Intermediate status with easy win over Limerick

TG4 Ladies Football All-Ireland Intermediate Championship Relegation Play-Off - Round 2

Longford Ladies v Limerick

Aisling Reynolds, who scored 2-2 for the Longford ladies in their win over Limerick in the relegation play-off.

Longford Ladies retained their Intermediate Championship status for next year with a comprehensive win over Limerick in the final relegation play-off at the Banagher grounds, Co Offaly on Sunday.

Longford . . . 6-12   Limerick . . . 1-11

It was all too easy for Longford, who led by 2-7 to 0-3 at the break. Limerick grabbed a goal near the end and tagged on a few points to make the scoreline look a bit more respectable.

Once Longford took control they were always going to win and Limerick couldn’t cope with their attacking play while Longford’s defence were nearly always on top and were rarely troubled.
