Longford wary of Welsh minnows

Longford Town manager Alan Mathews has warned his players that Thursday’s UEFA Cup first round clash against Welsh minnows Carmarthen Town will not be an easy task.

The draw is seen as the easiest possible draw for Longford but Mathews, who has seen the Welsh side twice in the last fortnight, believes that the game will be a lot harder than some may believe.

Mathews said: “They are well organised. There is no doubt about it, they are a very hardworking team. But the bottom line is that we have to do our own work.”
