The late Vincent Daly with the Delaney Cup
The death has take place of former Longford great Vincent Daly. The St. Mary’s Granard star led Longford to their one and only Leinster Senior Football Championship title in 1968.
On their way to that Leinster Final, Longford defeated Dublin 1-12 to 0-12 in the quarter final, All-Ireland holders Meath 0-12 to 0-7 in the semi final and stunned a highly fancied Laois team in the decider, winning with ease 3-9 to 1-4. Kerry ended that great run in the All Ireland semi final, but only just. It finished 2-13 to 2-11 at Croke Park.
