Longford IFC: Dessie Reynolds scores 2-3 for Sean Connolly’s in win over Ardagh Moydow
Mulleady Group Intermediate Football Championship Group Stage - Round 4
Sean Connolly’s . . . 2-12 Ardagh Moydow . . . 1-10
A goal from Dessie Reynolds just before the break left the Ballinalee side in a rather flattering 1-5 to 0-6 lead at half-time but Ardagh Moydow regained the lead when Tommy Farrell finished the ball to the net with five minutes gone on the changeover.
Both goals were the direct result of mistakes but there was no doubting the quality of the crucial second goal for Connolly’s with the creator Dessie Reynolds on target again in the 47th minute after linking up with Joe Heaney.
Reynolds clocked up a total of 2-3 (all from play) as Gerry Lynn’s charges ran out fairly comfortable winners in the end.
