20/20 vision for Longford: Best of luck to the county Board on this development plan which is spear-headed by Development Officer Damien Sheridan with the assistance of many others including experienced former county players and coaches such as Frank McNamee and Gareth Johnson. Under the elite programme, the best emerging talent will work year round to improve all aspects of their game and preparation, independent of the other teams that they will committed to. At schools level the teacher training programme has already been rolled out with a number already upskilled to take on greater coaching responsibility. The initiative which received good coverage in the Irish Independent on Monday last is fully detailed on the Longford GAA website.
