Longford 

Well done to Paddy Collum and the Longford team and management on their excellent win over Westmeath at the weekend. Paddy played a pivotal role in the victory with an excellent double save from a penalty in the second half. We wish them the best of luck in the next round of the National League against Antrim this weekend. 

 

Sympathy
