Fermanagh recorded their first win in this year’s Tailteann Cup with a comfortable 2-19 to 0-7 success over Longford at Pearse Park.

Kieran Donnelly’s side bounced back from a shock defeat by Carlow last weekend, leading 0-9 to 0-4 at half-time with Ryan Lyons, Declan McCusker and Conor Love all on target.

Lyons and Darragh McGurn kept the scoreboard ticking over in second half either side of a two-pointed effort from Garvan Jones.

Love, who impressed in the Ernemen’s Ulster quarter-final loss to Down, raced through to smash home a goal in the 53rd minute and extend his side’s lead to 1-16 to 0-6.

Substitute Aoghan Kelm added further gloss to the victory with a second Fermanagh goal in injury time as the Ernesiders ran out comfortable winners.

Fermanagh will look to build on Sunday’s win when they take on Wexford in their final group game in a fortnight’s time.

Longford will take on Carlow – who have already booked their place in the quarter-final – needing a victory to retain their hopes of reaching the preliminary quarter-finals.
