A busy night of underage provincial action around the country.

LONGFORD CELEBRATED A first win since 2002 against Dublin in the Leinster minor football championship on Wednesday night.

In Group 2, Paddy Ryan’s late goal helped Kildare to a three-point win over Westmeath, 1-12 to 2-6, while Louth also made it two wins from two with a 1-10 to 0-11 win against Meath. Elsewhere, Leitrim upset Mayo and Galway claimed a second victory as the Connacht U20 football championship round-robin action continued this evening.

Paul Moran notched another goal for Leitrim early in the second half, and star forward Paul Honeyman raised another green flag, as they held off Mayo to ultimately win by five points. After losing their opener against Galway a fortnight ago, Leitrim were playing their second game and got points on the board.
