Longford show healthy disregard for Cork City home record

Cork City 1 Longford Town 1

Longford had to come from behind to salvage a point but they did so with such vigour and style that Cork were close to losing their proud unbeaten home record in the competition.

Twice in the closing fifteen minutes Longford were close to a winning goal: first when Alan Kirby ripped a shot across the face of the goal and narrowly wide and again when it took three defenders to arrest Eric Levine as he surged into the penalty area.
