Longford quietly confident of reaching final

THE Longford team for Sunday’s All-Ireland MFC semi-final against Derry shows one change from the team which defeated Meath in the recent Leinster final.

Joe O’Brien comes in at left half forward for Cian Cooney. This will be the first time these particular counties will have met at this stage of the minor championship.

It’s been 64 years since Longford last won the Leinster title. Team boss Jimmy Gacquin who is also senior team coach at St. Mels College, said there is phenomenal interest in the game within the county and is expecting huge support.
