On Friday evening Longford Town were the visitors to the RSC in Waterford where they were looking to extend their lead at the top of the Airtricity League First Division and to keep their unbeaten away run going. As the game began there seemed to be a nervy feel amongst the 700 or so supporters in attendance and this seemed to have affected the players somewhat as it took some time for this game to get going.
About 700 turned up at the RSC to see the League leaders take on the local heroes. Hopes were high locally of reversing the earlier meeting between the sides when the manager said they deserved more. So this was to be a major test on a sunny and mild May evening. Only a handful was able to travel south, but it was certainly worth every cent of what is now very expensive petrol to witness a wonderful win.
As predicted beforehand, this game against Wexford Youths turned out to be a very difficult three points.With a televised Cup Final in Wembley, the attendance seemed to take a hit which didn’t help the atmosphere either. Normally we start brightly but on Saturday night last we seemed to be struggling for long periods to take control of what was a real tough encounter.
Cherry Orchard v Longford Town in the FAI Cup Second Round has been confirmed for Sunday 27th May at 2pm in Frank Cooke Park, home of Tolka Rovers.
Report by: Rachael McKeon
Longford Town U19’s finished out their season on Saturday at home to Cup finalists Dundalk. Things could have started better for the Town when minutes before kickoff their keeper Conor Devlin injured himself in the warm up and was unable to take part in the game. This resulted in striker Paddy Cheevers stepping up and going between the posts not for the first time this season.
Every game is different of course, but we beat Athlone by the same score as last time and the we had the same scorers, Colm James and Noel Haverty as in that magnificent win against Limerick.
The above is the term given to Saturday night’s game by one clever six year old, the Town had the ability to bounce back, or simply Bouncebackability. It was truly a night of some early drama, with teapots missing, MUtv photographers and cameramen milling around and a Euro song to be played at half time.
