Match Report

Longford Complete Late Comeback in Dalymount

Supersub Conor Davis found the back of James Talbot's net twice in the final stages of the game to pull Longford Town from 2-0 down to take a share of the spoils at Dalymount against a Bohs side who will be frustrated at their opening to the season.

Keith Long and Daire Doyle both made one change each from their teams from last week’s games. Keith Ward coming in for the home side and Sam Verdon coming in for Longford.

Bohs first shot in anger came through Ross Tierney whose long-range effort flew wide of the post. After a period of scrappy play from both sides, Georgie Kelly showed great composure in the box controlling a Liam Burt cross, before turning and firing into the bottom corner.

The home side would have doubled their lead moments later if it were not for a fine double save from former player Lee Stacey, first denying Tierney, before getting up quickly and denying Burt on the rebound.

It was third time lucky for Tierney in the 25th minute as his controlled volley from the edge of the box nestled in the corner of the net to double the home sides lead.

With the game heading towards the break most sides missed great chances. Longford’s Joe Gorman missed a header from a corner before Kelly was denied again by Stacey.

The second half was a much cagier affair. With the home side playing against the breeze. Longford tired to control the game much more but try as they might they couldn’t break through the home sides defence.

Bohs were dangerous on the break with the aforementioned Kelly glancing a header wide from a corner, before firing a curling show against the post. Daire Doyle started to empty the bench midway through the half. With 15 minutes left on the clock sub Conor Davis got the ball on the edge of the box, he danced his way through the home sides defence before slotting into the far corner.

With the game in it's dying stages Doyle’s side pushed forward in search of an equaliser. Super sub-Davis completed the comeback with a finish from a narrow angle at the back post.

Bohemians will be very disappointed with themselves only earning 1 point from a possible 6 in their opening two games of the season.
