MATCH PREVIEW: Galway United v Longford Town (First Division)

“We want to keep our good form going” – John Caulfield, Manager

Galway United face Longford Town at Eamonn Deacy Park this evening (Friday) Kick-off is at 7:45pm. 

United face another stern test this evening as Longford Town make the short trip down the N6 to take on John Caulfield’s league leaders.

The Tribesmen collected all 3 points once again last week as they ran out 2-0 winners away to Cobh Ramblers.

Longford meanwhile, narrowly lost out to Finn Harps, losing by one goal to nil at Bishopsgate. 

The emphasis will be on United to break down Longford’s watertight defence, something manager John Caulfield is conscious of:

 

They’re a very well organised team, very solid, they’ve only conceded two goals in their opening 5 games”.
