Carlow Edge Longford To Secure Second Spot

Carlow were full value for their win as they secured a home preliminary quarter-final tie with a two point win over Longford at Laois Hire O’Moore Park.

Niall Carew’s side were full value for their win. They were physical, fit and hungry; they wanted the win more than their opponents. They all worked hard for each other.

Early points were traded between Colm Hulton and Oran Kenny before Mikey Bambrick got Carlow’s first goal in the 11th minute. Longford drew level in the 18th minute with a pointed free from Dylan Farrell. Another Farrell free edged Longford ahead for the first time in the 21st minute but Carlow were back in front again in the 32nd minute. Conor Crowley did the hard work, he passed to Shane Clarke who was fouled in the area. His brother Jamie duly dispatched the penalty past Longford keeper Paddy Collum.

Both sides hit two points apiece before the half-time whistle as Carlow held a 2-05 to 0-09 lead going in at the break. 

Twice in the second half Carlow were ahead by three points. A fine point from Aaron Farrell drew Longford level in the 50th minute. Two minutes later Longford captain and corner-back Paddy Fox got up to score a goal for his side and put them in front by three. Minutes later Mickey Quinn received a black card.

Carlow used their numerical advantage very well and Longford struggled to contain them with captain Darragh Foley leading the line. They were level in the 65th minute with three Foley frees. 

A fine score from the forward from play edged his side in front again and this time they didn’t relinquish the lead. Sub Aaron Amond and Conor Crowley scored late points in a fine win for Carlow.
