Wexford edge Longford

A BLUNDER by Longford keeper Stephen Conlon proved costly as Longford Town fell to their sixth defeat of the season.

A poor fisted clearance by Conlon in the sixth minute fell to Kevin Rowe minute but the netminder upended him in the box and Gary Sheehan made no mistake with the spot-kick.

Although Town enjoyed the majority of the possession in the first half they failed to create too many goalscoring opportunities. John Lester headed Ryan McEvoy’s corner over in the 12th minute. Right on the stroke of half-time Lester’s free was superbly tipped over by Youths keeper Pakie Holden.
