Sherlock strikes late to win O'Byrne Cup for Dubs

DUBLIN 2-12 LONGFORD 1-14

Two late goals from Jason Sherlock robbed Longford of what would have been their first O'Byrne Cup title since 2000.

Dublin trailed by 1-13 to 0-11 late on, but with Bernard Brogan's seventh point of the night being followed by Sherlock's brace, they dramatically retained the cup.

The former soccer player poked home a 70th-minute major and he produced another quality finish, four minutes later, to break Longford hearts.

Brian Kavanagh's seventh-minute goal had helped Luke Dempsey's underdogs to a 1-6 to 0-7 interval lead.
