Mullingar Secure Convincing Win Over Longford

Mullingar RFC delivered a commanding performance on Saturday, September 28th, defeating Longford 62-7 in an away fixture. From the first whistle, Mullingar took control of the match, with Liam scoring a try just 30 seconds in. Luke’s successful conversion set the early tone, giving Mullingar a 7-0 lead within the opening minute.

Despite Longford having an early penalty opportunity, they failed to convert, while Mullingar continued to pile on the pressure. Strong runs from Callum, Fionn, Isaac, and Ian kept the home side on the back foot, and Dylan soon added to the scoreline, finishing a well-placed kick from Liam in the corner. Luke again made no mistake with the conversion, stretching the lead to 14-0 after just 12 minutes.

Mullingar’s dominance continued throughout the first half, with Charlie Keegan powering over the line from a lineout and Owen Riley crossing the try line shortly after. Longford managed to respond with a converted try before halftime, leaving the score at 26-7 in favor of Mullingar at the break.

The second half saw no let-up from Mullingar, as Fionn Ceary extended the lead with a try just three minutes in. Luke and Charlie continued to add points from conversions as the visitors remained in full control. Tries from Cathal, Ian Orme, Godwin, and two late scores from Callum rounded out the victory, with Mullingar’s pack proving too strong for Longford throughout the contest.

The win marks another impressive result in Mullingar’s centenary season as the club celebrates 100 years of rugby in the community.

Final Score: Longford 7 – 62 Mullingar
