Leinster League 1B/2A Playoff Call to Arms
09/03/2016
Longford Rugby Club Senior Men first XV face the most important game of
that last number of seasons when they take on with Railway Union on
Sunday at Coolavacoose, Carbury the home ground of Edenderry RFC.
After last weekendâs rousing display at Silken Thomas Park in the
Curragh to overcome Cill Dara on a score of 20-40 a lot will be expected
of the boys this Sunday.
This is in essence a âcup final
deciderâ to ensure survival in Division 1B. If there was a graph of
the last three games then Longford will be happy with the way it is
being plotted and will hope that the curve continues upward.
Club President of Longford Rugby Club Tony Headon had this message for
local rugby fans: âI am calling on all Longford Rugby supporters to make
a special effort to get down to Edenderry to support the team in this
vital game.â
Backs Coach Glenn Basked added to this call to
arms for Longford supporters by saying: âAs part of the team I know the
support we got at home against Mullingar was great and we would
encourage everyone to try and make the short trip to Edenderry this
Sunday for what is do or die for the team. The boys have put in two
huge performances in the last two weeks and your support could be the
difference in getting the boys over the line this week. We hope to hear
and see you all there Sunday.â
Anyone interested in going to

Sunday can contact a club member about transport.
