Allianz National Hurling League Division 3B - Round 4

The chief marksman, once again, was the deadly accurate Joe O’Brien who fired over a total of 11 points in a positive result for the new manager Adrian Moran.

Longford can now look forward to a clash against neighbouring rivals Leitrim in the next round at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday, throw-in 2pm, and will almost certainly clinch their place in the knockout stage should they register another victory.

The top team in Division 3B will qualify directly for the league title decider while the second and third placed teams will meet in the semi-final.
