Longford manager Stephen Kenny has expressed himself disappointed with St Francis who have refused to put back, by a day or two, Friday's First Division game, thus forcing Longford to play three games in five days.

"We facilitated Bray by playing them a week early prior to their European game, now when we need a favour we are not helped," said Kenny. Kenny's main worry is 20-year-old striker Keith O'Connor who has been a revelation since arriving from Bluebell United. O'Connor has torn a muscle in his groin.

Also out of tonight's game are Stephen Kelly (groin) and Stephen Gavin (knee) while goalkeeper Stephen O'Brien has a foot injury.
