Longford Town – UCD

Longford Town will host UCD at Bishopsgate as the league’s top‑flight clash looms, pitting the fifth‑placed side with 52 points against the second‑placed outfit sitting on 56. The home side have netted 49 goals while conceding 46 from 36 games, whereas UCD boast a superior 67‑51 goal record and a slightly better win tally, 16 to Longford’s 14. With a five‑point gap separating them, the encounter could be decisive for the chase at the summit, especially given the two teams’ recent head‑to‑head record that has favoured the Dublin side. Both clubs will be keen to convert their draws into full points, making Bishopsgate a potential turning point in the race for the top spots.
