Longford have saved their best results so far this season for the Setanta Cup, they've won two from three compared to two from eight in the league. They will again need to lift their game if they are make it to the lucrative final.
The Irish League season is complete and IFA clubs can now concentrate fully on the Setanta Cup. Linfield will be without the suspended Michael Gault after picking up a couple of yellow cards. Stephen Paisley is a big loss for Longford and he is suspended after picking up two yellow cards in Longford's last game.
