James Clarke replaces Darragh Markey on the hour mark

Mark Doyle is so unlucky to hit the bar with an outrageous volley after instinctively flicking it up to himself

Tim Clancy's men still in control as we approach the hour and they don't look to be too concerned with rushing anything. De Town on the other hand don't look like scoring at this stage

Another chance for Lyons on the 6 yard line. He continues to pose a threat from the away side's corners and Longford continue to susceptible from them
