Longford Town – Cobh Ramblers

Longford Town edged Cobh Ramblers 2‑1 at home, a narrow victory that lifted the league‑sixth side to 41 points from 31 games, matching their goal tally with goals conceded. The win narrows the gap to fourth‑placed Cobh, who sit on 45 points despite a slightly inferior goal difference (38‑43). Both clubs have already split their head‑to‑head meetings this season, each claiming a win and sharing two draws, so the result adds another chapter to a tightly contested rivalry. With 11 wins, eight draws and 12 defeats, Longford now needs to keep the momentum if they hope to climb into the playoff spots, while Cobh must respond quickly to preserve their position in the top four.
