Having come out on top in their two SF challenges last weekend, Peter Fitzpatrick's side recorded another impressive victory over Roscommon at Darver on Saturday evening.

Louth 3-14
Roscommon 1-16

Darren Clarke yet again shone for the winners notching up a personal tally of 2-4.

Clarke got the Wee County off to the best of starts with a goal from the penalty spot, however, Roscommon picked up the running soon after as they dominated the opening half and held a seven point lead at the break - 1-5 to 1-12.

The visitors stretched their advantage further to nine points but with a host of half time substitutes Louth began to find their feet and made immediate inroads cutting into the Rossies lead.

A second goal from the penalty spot from Clarke put Louth within touching distance before two quick points pushed them infront by the minimum.

A late goal from substitute Michael Rogers wrapped up a four point win for the hosts in what was a remarkable recovery.
