Flashback to 2016 and Longford's famous win over Down (AET) in Pairc Esler by 2-24 to 3-17 in All-Ireland Qualifier Round 1. This was only the 2nd time Longford beat Down in Championship, and on both occasions the team was trained by Denis Connerton (2002 & 2016). Mickey Quinn gave a MOTM performance that day and the Longford goals came from Seamus Hannon and Mark Hughes.
