Longford blow as Foy injured

Experienced Longford defender Peter Foy looks set to miss most of the championship after breaking an ankle in a club match.

Foy, who transferred from Newtowncashel to Longford Slashers, will be out of action for several weeks. Manager Glenn Ryan, whose side begin their Leinster SFC campaign next Sunday against Wicklow in Aughrim, said that it was a bad blow.

“It is unfortunate for Peter but the main thing is for him to make a full recovery and get back in action,” said Ryan.
