Longford Slashers . . . 2-4 Naomh Brid, Carlow . . . 1-6

Showing tremendous courage and no shortage of skill, the Longford Slashers U-15 hurlers won the Division 4 National Feile title on Saturday.

Just a single point separated the sides in the final with the superb Slashers side getting the better of the host club Naomh Brid from Carlow.

Hurling in Longford is enjoying a lot of success at the moment with all the hard work at underage level in recent years reaping a well deserved reward.

Particularly prominent in the current hurling revolution is Niall Ward who was part of the management team that guided Slashers to success in the various Feile competitions at the weekend.

Longford Slashers victory in the National Feile na nGael is the 4th time the Slashers hurlers have won honours at National Feile na nGael (2026, 2021, 2019 & 2018) and the first time a Longford club won the Division 4 Cup title since Lough Forbes Gaels (now Clonguish) beat Clongeen (Wexford) in 1999.
