Indeed, Fermanagh used the win advantage early in the second-half to nine points clear. Jayson Matthews and Aaron Farrell responded for Longford but that was all she wrote.
Conor Love’s 55th minute’s goal wounded Longford deeply with Aaron Kelm, Garvin Jones and Largo Fox adding points for Fermanagh.
