Longford get even with the last kick

A draw was just about the right result from this hugely entertaining tie, and it is a bizarre turn of events that will see the sides face off for the fourth time in-a-row in next Sunday’s replay.

In the end, it took a free from Seán McCormack with the last kick of the game to rescue Longford but given that they had been in arrears for the majority of the game, Wexford couldn’t be too disappointed.

The decision by referee Michael Collins to penalise either Ray Tierney or Eric Bradley – or both – for their challenges on Paul Kelly seemed marginal but he was in the right position to make the call.
