Kingdom bracing for tough trip to Longford

There is more than a hint of déjà vu about last night’s All-Ireland SFC qualifier draw.

Kerry meet Longford, the side they defeated in Killarney en route to September glory in 2006; Monaghan are paired with Derry who knocked them out of the Ulster championship in May while Down and Laois have backdoor history from as little as 12 months ago.
