Longford Rovers FC closing in on historic league title
The squad will travel to Streete Parish Park today, Sunday May 10, for their league clash against Inny FC, where a draw or a one point victory will secure them the Division 2 league title, an achievement unmatched by any Longford team to date
Longford Rovers FC are on the brink of making history as they head into the final two games of the season knowing that just one point will secure the Division 2 league title, a milestone that no Longford team has achieved before.
Founded in 2021, the club has grown from strength to strength in a short number of years and now stands on the verge of a landmark achievement for football in the county.
The squad travel to Streete Parish Park today for a huge league clash against Inny FC, where a draw or victory will seal the title and cap off a remarkable season for the club.
Adding to the excitement, Longford Rovers are also preparing for the Quarter Final of the Division Cup this weekend.
The season also carries a personal significance for one member of the squad Eddie clabby, as this campaign will mark his final season in senior football before retirement at the end of the year.
The club - which was founded four years ago by Damien Jordan, Brian Greville, Tyler Ward and Shane Nelson - is managed by Dave Maher and Barry Harten, with Michael Nevin captaining the side.
The team has received fantastic backing from the local community and sponsors (Mill Bar Drumlish, Hanlons Gala, Aaron McBride Painting) in advance of their big match today, and they are now calling on supporters from across Longford to get behind the team for what could be a monumental occasion in local football history.
