Long clan would love to win title for dad JJ

Kilmurry go in search of a first junior football county in 26 years tomorrow having survived the drawn game by the skin of their teeth two weeks ago against Rockchapel.

In the dying embers of a game they seemed destined to lose, they chiselled out two points and they’re back with a second chance of emulating the heroes of 1986.

Tomorrow, most of those who were involved in that historic win will be in attendance. But one man who can’t is club legend JJ Long, recovering in the National Rehab Centre in Dublin following an horrific farming accident last year.
