Cork City manager Neale Fenn will encounter some old friends at Turner’s Cross tonight as the Rebel Army host Longford Town in the FAI Cup (7.45pm) but he doesn’t think a meeting with his former side will feel too strange.

City, bottom of the Premier Division, will look to get off to a winning campaign in the cup against the side they beat en route to the finals of 2017 and 2018, when Fenn was in charge.
