Longford extend lead

Unbeaten Longford Town stretched their lead at the top of the First Division with a hard-fought win over high-flying Limerick at Jackman Park.

Limerick went close to open the scoring on 27 minutes but Town keeper Craig Hyland saved Paudie Quinn’s low drive from a Denis Behan through ball.

Hyland then kept out Behan’s long-range effort and denied Shaun Kelly with a stunning save before the break.
