www.ladiesgaelic.ie | AUTUMN 2019 | 41 MATCH Match in a Minute "The dust has settled now on our All-Ireland win but it's still hard to believe. At the start of season it was our intention to bring home silverware, we knew we had a fantastic panel but most of all we knew they were prepared to put in the hard work and they proved us right and are now All-Ireland Champions." LONGFORD MANAGER CAROL MANNING Summary: Quite the spell for Longford at underage level. Hot on the heels of their All-Ireland U16 B success, the Midlanders clinched an All-Ireland Minor B title. The trick now for Longford is to transfer obvious underage talent to the adult ranks. This was some game at Duggan Park in Ballinasloe, in the melting pot until the closing quarter, before Longford finally managed to shrug aside the Rossies. Longford were 1-7 to 0-3 in front at half-time but they were adrift late on as goals from Aimee O'Connor and Oonagh Kelly had Roscommon in sight of glory. Anna Healy's penalty was the crucial score as Longford showed admirable character to wrestle back superiority of this game – and add another piece of silverware to the 2019 cabinet.
