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

Galway United are back in action this evening to face Longford Town at Bishopsgate, a quick turnaround after Friday night’s win vs Cobh Ramblers, kick-off is at 7:30pm.

United are in search of a record-equalling 12th win in a row, set by the 2015 Limerick FC side. The Tribesmen will be calling for another strong travelling support to help them over the line.

The last time the sides faced each other at Bishopsgate was in the first leg of last season’s First Division playoff semi-final, where a brace from Mikie Rowe cancelled out an earlier brace from former United forward, Jordan Adeyemo.
