Tipp overcome Longford in Hastings Cup

The Tipp Under 21 footballers held on to win their Round 3 Hastings Cup match -after a strong second half performance by Longford. The Premier County side were missing a significant chunk of their starting team, but the extended panel proved that there is a high degree of depth to this squad of players. 

Manager Tommy Twomey and his Tipp team led by 1-8 to two points at half time and in the second half Longford came out fighting, but Tipp managed to hold tough through their onslaught.

The full time score was Tipperary 1-11 Longford 1-8.
