NICKY RACKARD CUP: Longford hurlers cruised into the semi-finals with a strong second-half display which saw them register a 1-19 to 2-7 win over Louth at Pearse Park.
Seán Browne's goal just before the break left Longford holding a slender 1-6 to 1-5 lead but they looked in trouble when substitute Niall McEneaney scored another goal for Louth in the opening minute of the second half.
Longford, however, showed a lot of character to dominate the remainder of the game, firing over a total of 13 points.
