Pretty low attendance at Finn Park so far. Friday night football and Chelsea v Liverpool will have had an affect of course.
Big surprise on the Harps team selection tonight with four changes made by Harps: Richard Brush, Sean Houston, Adam Hanlon and Ethan Boyle are in with Ciaran Gallagher, Michael Funston, Tony McNamee and Ruairi Keating dropping to the bench.
Harps can take a big step towards safety with a win tonight. Although Ollie Horgan’s team haven’t won – or scored – in six games now but a win tonight can bring Harps to within two points of avoiding the automatic relegation spot, currently occupied by tonight’s opponents.
Longford haven’t won a game since defeating Wexford on the opening night of the season.
