Longford 1-13 - 0-10 CarlowLongford booked their place in the O’Byrne Cup semi-final for the fourth year in a row with six points to spare over Carlow in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park. Following their win over Kildare in their opening game, Padraic Davis’ side followed up with victory against a strong Carlow side, who never looked like troubling Longford. Gerard Flynn, Darren Gallagher, Colm P. Smyth, Rian Brady, and Oran Kenny were excellent throughout for a Longford side who were full value for the win. Carlow opened the scoring in the ninth minute when Paul Broderick pointed but Longford responded immediately with a fine point from Gallagher.
