Cork City will be facing a fresh Longford Town side when they aim to get back to winning ways at Bishopsgate on Saturday evening (7.30pm).

The Rebels lost early ground in the First Division promotion race last week by losing to Galway United, seven days on from sweeping past Bray Wanderers 6-0. This meeting, by contrast, will be Longford’s first outing of the campaign as their opener against Cobh fell victim to a frozen pitch and they were idle team of the nine during last week’s series.
