Longwood reach first final in 52 years

Longwood qualified for the Meath SHC final for the first time since 1961 after sensationally ousting holders Kiltale, 1-22 to 2-16, at Páirc Tailteann on Saturday.

The surprise winners recovered from being eight points (1-7 to 2-12) in arrears at the break, with eight successive points on the restart laying the platform for victory.

Goals from Peter Durnin and Cillian O’Sullivan in the first half had Kiltale in control but Johnny Furey found the net to give Longwood hope.
