Tomorrow's Longford SFC semi-final between Mullinalaghta and Clonguish pits Cavan duo Mickey Graham and Dermot McCabe against each other.

Holders Mullinalaghta are bidding for a three-in-a-row of Connolly Cups under new Cavan boss Graham while Clonguish have 1997 All-Star McCabe coaching them.

Graham was appointed as Cavan's new senior football manager last month and has included his former Breffni County team-mate McCabe as selector. 

However, the pair, who won Ulster SFC medals together in 1997, will put their friendship to one side when they cross paths on the Pearse Park sideline on Saturday evening (throw-in 5.30pm).

Clonguish will be hoping they can exact revenge for last year's replay defeat to St Columba's at the same stage.

To add more spice to the fixture, Graham guided Clonguish to their last Longford SFC final appearance in 2011.

Abbeylara, who are managed by another Cavan man Danny Brady, await the winners in the decider on October 7.
