Sean O’Connor, Marty Waters answer call

Longford Town 0, Shamrock Rovers 2:

Rovers’ manager Fenlon was frustrated in his efforts to get in another experienced striker in the close season — to add to the signing of Danny North — and is delighted to see the goalscoring burden spread early on.

“There’s a few things that we spoke about since the end of last season, that being one of them,” said Fenlon, on the need for his attacking midfielders to contribute goals.
