the 24 year old centre half has just returned with his new club from a preseason training camp in spain.

during their stay they lost out 3-2 to seville and 1-0 to danish highflyers fc midtjylland.

it has shown that there is a very strong squad at longford and there will be serious compettion for places-there is plenty of top cover."

o connor signed from drogheda in the close season,played in both preseason friendlies for the back to back fai cup winners alongside skipper barry ferguson.

he seems to have settled in very well and the back four look very solid.

danny and bazza are an excellent pairing at the moment. see that alan murphy did not get playing last night- is this the end for murph? :confused:

[Longfordian]

Murph was near me at the match last night, he's injured at the moment but should be back in a week or so according to himself, he was running up the steps anyway. He was so eager to be involved he had Dessie Baker's jersey on!
