Longford minor footballers begin their Leinster championship with a tough opener against Dublin.

The Midlanders have home advantage at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Saturday afternoon (throw in at 1.30pm), but they will still be underdogs against a strong Dublin side.

However, confidence is high in Longford after they won the Leinster league and with a fully fit squad available, they will be hoping to make home advantage count.

The losers of this match will have an opportunity to get back on track through the back door system, but Longford are keen to go the direct route. Tweet
