Longford secure Premier Division status

Longford Town 1 Cork City 0

Sean Francis scored for the third game in succession to secure Longford's Premier Division status for next season and do his former club Shamrock Rovers a big favour.

The result is a blow to Cork's hopes of qualifying for Europe as they stay fourth behind Rovers on goal difference with two games to play.

Francis struck after just three minutes for the only goal of the game when he shot home a Brian Byrne cross from the left - Town's first goal at Flancare Park in almost three months.
