Longford beat Donegal in high scoring hurling clash

Longford 5-15 Donegal 2-22

A powerful second-half surge in this Lory Meagher Cup goal-fest at Devine Park, Edgeworthstown earned hosts Longford a four-point win against Ulster side Donegal. Donegal, who were favourites to win this encounter, were given a stern examination by Matty McLoughlin's Longford side.

Joe O'Brien scored a hat-trick of goals for the eventual winners, while Jonathan Minnock scored their other two goals.
