Eircom League: Lavine gives Longford much-needed win

Longford Town 1, Shelbourne 0 (full-time)

Eric Lavine scored a superbly taken goal to give Longford a much-needed

league win, their first in 10 games.

Lavine nipped in behind the Shels defence onto Alan Reynolds ball over the

top to race in and shoot past Steve Williams for the only goal of the game

on 56 minutes.

In a close first-half the sides swapped excellent scoring chances.

Lavine missed a sitter after cleverly putting himself through on goal on 30

minutes.

At the other end, Peter Hutton then crashed a shot off the bar two minutes

before the break.
