Westmeath make dramatic comeback, UCD overcome Meath and another win for Laois
WESTMEATH, LAOIS AND the students of DCU all claimed their second successive victories in the O’Byrne Cup tonight.
Pride of place went to Westmeath for the brilliant comeback they launched in their Group D clash against Longford in St Loman’s.
At half-time Longford were in front by 1-10 to 0-3 with Michael Brady netting for Denis Connerton’s side.
But Westmeath dominated the second-half and struck 11 points without reply at the Mullingar venue.
It was a Kieran Martin free that levelled it before Denis Corroon bagged the winner as Westmeath followed up on last Sunday’s win over Wicklow.
