Longford hoping for first points of season

Tonight's fixture between Galway United and Longford Town is already being billed as a six-pointer even at this early stage of the season. Kick-off at Terryland Park is at 7.45pm.

Galway have not won a league game all season and will be without the injured trio, Philip Reilly, Alan Keane and Chris Armstrong, while Regi Nooitmeer is also a doubt for boss Tony Cousins.

Longford Town are yet to even gain a point from this year's campaign and will be desperate to take something from their trip west.

Dessie Baker is still out injured for Town but otherwise travel with a strong squad.
