Westmeath are favourites to go one step further and land the TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate title this year.
The Lake County lost out to Meath at Croke Park last December but that experience could well stand them in good stead in 2021. Westmeath are also in good shape after preserving their Lidl NFL Division 1 status with a recent relegation play-off final victory over Tipperary.
Longford won one game out of three in their Lidl NFL Division 3 campaign and will be hoping for better form in the Championship.
Westmeath: L McCormack; N Spellman, L Power, E Kelly; F Coyle, A Jones, T Fagan; V Carr, T Dillon; L Duncan, L Archibold, J Maher; L McCartan, K Hegarty, S Dillon.
Longford: R McGrath; K Crawford, L Keegan, A Cosgrove; C Mulligan, E O’Brien, C Farrell, N Darcy, O Nevin, E Heaney, L Monaghan, S Shannon; A Darcy, M Farrell (c), C Healy.
