BOTH TEAMS CARRIED huge momentum into this game in Ardee, but Louth prevailed in the end with a Sam Mulroy penalty proving crucial by the end.
The home side scored the game’s only goal after the first quarter of the game. A Sam Mulroy free dropped short, but Kieran McArdle was immediately dragged down. Mulroy himself stepped up to convert and give Derry a lead they would not relinquish.

Derry had their own chance from a spot kick when Shane McGuigan was upended by Daire Nally. However, Wee county goalkeeper Niall McDonnell was equal to McGuigan’s penalty kick in a man of the match performance for the custodian.
Louth are now behind Cork and Meath at the top of the table, two points adrift on eight.
In Division 3, already-relegated Fermanagh got their first two points of the league campaign when they beat Laois in Brewster Park, 2-13 to 1-14, killing off Laois’ faint promotion hopes. Goals from Darragh McGurn and Luke Flanagan helped the home side, as did a red card for Laois’ Robert Tyrell.
London are enjoying their best-ever season in Division 4 and they put a dent in Carlow’s promotion hopes. A scoreline of 1-20 to 0-18 was recorded in Netwatch Dr Cullen Park and with their final game coming against Antrim, they have a chance of promotion, while Carlow should get the job done against Leitrim in the last game.
