Longford regain cup with late show

Longford Town 2 Waterford United 1

Having lost only once in the past two years in cup competition, their second successive FAI Cup now joins the league cup in their trophy cabinet for this season. Alan Matthews and his side are responsible for quite a revolution in the Midlands.

It’s an astonishing achievement for this small club who now sit proudly alongside Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers, two of the marquee names in Irish football, as one of the few clubs to win back-to-back cups.
