The Longford minor footballers are in Leinster Championship action this Saturday when they travel to Newbridge to play Kildare at St Conleth’s Park, throw-in 12 noon.
Gareth Johnston’s charges scored a great victory over the reigning All-Ireland champions Meath in the opening round of the 2022 Leinster U-17 Championship but are now facing an even tougher task.
Kildare cruised to a most emphatic 3-12 to 0-5 win over Offaly in Round 1 of the group stage but the talented Longford team will give it their best shot in the bid to spring another surprise.
The Longford line-out v Meath in the opening round was as follows: Caolan Hussey (Mostrim); Brian Mulvey (Carrickedmond), Eamon Igoe (Killoe), Conor Flynn (Clonguish); Harry Kiernan (Granard, 0-1), Ruairi O’Toole (Dromard), Andrew Flynn (Clonguish, 0-1); Jack Belton (Mostrim), Ross Shields (Clonguish); Michael Murphy (Sean Connolly’s), Matthew Carey (Clonguish, 0-6, two frees, one mark), Jonathan Burke (Clonguish); Harry Mulvihill (Young Grattans), Paddy Moran (Killoe, 1-1, goal from penalty), Michael Flynn (Clonguish, 0-2).
Sub:- Matthew McCormack (Carrickedmond) for H Mulvihill (50 mins).
Blood sub:- Josh Kelly (Kenagh) for P Moran (stoppage time).
