A point from a James Martin free in the fifth minute of injury time earned Dromard a deserved draw in the Longford football final in difficult, wet conditions in front of a crowd of 5,000 at Pearse Park. Dromard led 1-4 to 0-3 at the break thanks to a well-taken goal from James Martin midway through the first half.
