Meanwhile, there are reports that Longford will hand Cork a walkover in this Sunday’s Allianz National Football League - Division 3 final round game.
Longford manager Padraic Davis labelled the game “a dead rubber” yesterday.
Amid the ongoing threat posed by Covid-19, Davis believes it’s not necessary to make the 500-kilometre round trip to face a side already crowned Division Three champions.
