Ryan delighted as Longford go up

Longford boss Glenn Ryan was “delighted” with the battling qualities shown by his team who came from behind to earn a draw and promotion in Thurles on Saturday night.

A late exchange of scores left both teams with something to go home with, as Longford secured promotion while Tipperary earned their first point of the league campaign.

“I’m very happy with the commitment shown by our players right through the season and they’ve got what they deserved through promotion,” Ryan said.
