Glenn Ryan: Longford will put up serious fight

Former Longford manager Glenn Ryan has dismissed the suggestion that the county are on a damage limitation mission against Dublin tomorrow afternoon.

Jack Sheedy’s side are 25/1 to upset the Leinster champions while the spread is forecasted at an incredible 16 points.

Rory O’Carroll earlier this week said he expects Longford will adopt a defensive strategy similar to that deployed by Derry against Dublin in the league in March, when Jim Gavin’s men ran out 0-8 to 0-4 winners.
