Longford make history

Longford Town captured the first senior trophy in their 80-year history when beating St Pats 2-0 in the FAI Cup final today (Sunday) at Lansdowne Road.

There was no denying the vale of Longford’s win as they also missed a penalty and struck the woodwork.

Longford took the lead just after the half hour through a deflected Sean Francis goal and Barry Ferguson also missed a first-half penalty before Shane Barrett put the game beyond ten-man Pats’ reach with a late second.

Congratulations, not just on winning but how ye did it.
was an excellent performance by all.

[Robinski]

Agreed. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the match on the box. The fans made loads of noise and Lansdowne looked good.

Congratulations Longford, it was your day and you deserved the victory.

[caolan]

Congratulations to all in Longford, despite the sheer heartbreak and emotional turmoil that I'm feeling following out defeat, we never deserved it. Longford are deserved winners of the cup and I wish you guys the best for the rest of the season and your european adventures next year, enjoy them!

[Aberdonian Stu]

Well done lads. Having watched the game with ye I can honestly say I don't recall anything like the scenes I was happily witness to last Sunday at a game involving el clubs ever, it was simply unreal.

[mighty murph]

Just after watching the game on video again. it'd still bring a tear to your eye. just want a thank the lads for a great day and a savage night. well done boys ye were brilliant.

Congrats to Longford on a great win.

Great for all the people who have obviously worked so hard to build the infrastructure of the club up over the last few years.

Might even see some of the eL haters in the press take an interest in the clubs progress.

Doubt it though.
