Longford face fixtures dilemma

Longford County Board must decide whether or not to proceed with a round of upcoming league fixtures after the county’s football management issued a statement threatening to resign if the games are not postponed.

Yesterday, manager Denis Connerton and his backroom team of Ciarán Fox, Enda Macken and Derek Ryan revealed they had held a crisis meeting with regard to their roles, according to the Longford Leader.

“This is the fourth time a round of league games couldn’t be completed in one day,” their statement read.
