London manager Paul Coggins hopes his players can produce a 'performance of a lifetime' against Cavan in Ruislip this afternoon.

The Breffni County travelled over to the English capital yesterday evening and Roscommon native Coggins has revenge on his mind following the 1-8 to 1-17 qualifier defeat they suffered at the hands of Terry Hyland's charges in Croke Park two years ago.

London's chances of an upset have been boosted by the availability of top marksman Lorcan Mulvey.

The former Cavan footballer from Butlersbridge will line out as usual in the full-forward position while Martin McCoy and Aaron Bradley are also included.

"The lads know it is a good challenge but they are really looking forward to it," Coggins said. "You have to meet the challenge. We have a good record here. That will count for nothing unless the lads stand up on the day. That is what I'm here to do - to make sure they stand up on the day by giving the performance of a lifetime."

Cavan, meanwhile, will look to get the disappointment of their narrow one-point Ulster SFC derby defeat to Monaghan out of their system.

2013 All-Star nominee Killian Clarke is available after overcoming a hamstring injury.

"Everybody else is fit and looking forward to it, we have no problem with motivation and we think we should have a long summer in front of us if all goes well," manager Hyland commented.
