Score of the match: In terms of
sheer importance, it's difficult to
look past Ciara Healy's second half
penalty for Longford. Despite leading
by 1-7 to 0-3 at half-time, Longford
were reeled in by a talented and
determined Roscommon outfit in the
second half, before Healy kept her
nerve to convert with seven minutes
remaining for a pivotal score.
