Longford leave out Cup hero Barrett for clash with Leeds

FAI Carlsberg Cup holders Longford Town, will leave last season’s decider hero, Shane Barrett, on the bench for their match against the Cork MSL team, Leeds, at Turner’s Cross tomorrow (Kick off 2.30 pm).

Barrett has failed to score since his two goals gave Longford their first Cup title when they beat St. Patrick’s Athletic in the final.

His failure to re-discover his marvellous form means manager Alan Matthews will stay with Sean Francis and Dessie Baker up front.
