Not for the first time in his career, Chris Forrester stole the show, capping it with a brace of delightful goals, as league leaders St Patrick's Athletic maintained their unbeaten start to the season.
After a lacklustre opening 45 minutes at Richmond Park, Saints came alive after the interval to all but seal their sixth win of the campaign with two goals inside seven minutes of the restart.
A fifth defeat in six games, and without a goal from play during that run, leaves bottom side Longford facing a long season ahead.

A TRADEMARK Chris Forrester worldie lit up an otherwise dismal and workmanlike St Patrick’s Athletic victory as Stephen O’Donnell’s side remain top of the pile in the Premier Division.
The silky-skilled Smithfield man picked out the top corner with a stunning 25-yard drive early in the second half after substitute Rónán Coughlan had opened the scoring minutes earlier.
