Parsons on the double
Longford Town had to rely on a goal seven minutes from time to give them victory over a disappointing Cobh side in Longford.
Richie Parsons fired the home side in front after just thirteen minutes, finishing off a good move which involved Keith O'Connor and Stephen Kelly. Longford, who moved to top spot in the First Division as a result of this win, were totally dominant after this early goal but just couldn't put the final finish to many fine moves.
Cobh took advantage of Longford's inability to put the game beyond reach and Donal Golden fired home a superb equaliser with seventeen minutes remaining. However Parsons popped up to snatch the winning goal just seven minutes from time,smashing the ball past helpless Cobh 'keeper John Donegan.
