Kavanagh chases midlands derby win

St Patrick's Drumcondra student Brian Kavanagh expects big things from his Longford side this year but he knows tomorrow's midlands derby against old rivals Westmeath is going to be a tough hurdle to overcome.

Despite that age-old rivalry, it is hard to believe that the counties are meeting tomorrow in the Leinster championship for the first time since 1999, when Westmeath had a comfortable 3-17 to 2-9 win.
