Longford Town will be looking for revenge for their opening night defeat in the Setanta Cup when they meet Glentoran at Flancare Park tonight.

Longford Town will be looking for revenge for their opening night defeat in the Setanta Cup when they meet Glentoran at Flancare Park tonight.

Town lost 2-1 in the tournament opener at the Oval in March but have since discovered their form and manager Alan Mathews is likely to select the same side that lost 2-0 to Shelbourne on Thursday.

Glentoran will be at full strength for the clash as they look to maintain their position at the top of the group.

Meanwhile, Shelbourne are aiming to get their first win of the Setanta Cup when they face Portadown at Shamrock Park.

With one point from their two games to date, Shels are in desperate need of a victory. Manager Pat Fenlon must plan without the suspended Jamie Harris and David Crawley while striker Gary O’Neill is injured.
