Jayo gives Dubs the edge

Dublin 2-12 Longford 1-14

With the 70 minutes all but expired and Dublin five points adrift, Longford seemed set for a famous victory before two goals from a previously anonymous Jason Sherlock consigned the visitors to the most cruel of defeats.

Sherlock’s first goal was a messy affair that saw him poke home to an empty net but any hopes of a home victory looked to have been dashed within seconds when the excellent Brian Kavanagh slotted over his last point of the game at the opposite end.
