Dublin’s late points flurry decisive in win over Longford
But victory was far from secure for long spells and underdogs Longford took the lead on three occasions throughout a tense tussle with timely goals. In fact, Frank McNamee’s side were one point up with 11 minutes to go before being suckered by that late scoring siege from Dublin.
It was an impressive finale from Dessie Farrell’s Dublin who came good when they needed to with Niall Scully leading the fight. He scored three of those six points while Eric Lowndes delivered two to secure an April 2 final with Kildare.
