Preview: Lory Meagher Cup final - Longford v Warwickshire

June 08, 2013

The Warwickshire Hurling squad
Longford enjoyed success in the competition in 2010 while Warwickshire are bidding for a first success in the competition.

Longford are slight favourites but they will have to reverse the 1-15 to 1-10 loss they suffered at the hands of the Exiles away in round one.

The Midlanders recovered from that set-back by defeating neighbours Leitrim (3-12 to 0-7) and Fermanagh (6-13 to 1-10) in round two and three respectively.

Warwickshire, meanwhile, drew their second round against Fermanagh (Warwickshire 1-12, Fermanagh 0-15) before receiving a walk-over from Leitrim in round three.

Longford manager Frank Browne is upbeat about his sides prospects but Warwickshire won't be any pushovers.
