London's All Ireland SFC First Round qualifier with Louth at McGovern Park on Sunday is a chance for redemption, says Exiles captain Liam Gavaghan.

While the Wee County arrive in Ruislip winless in 2018, Gavaghan and his London teammates are keen to "prove a point" after their chastening ten-point loss to Sligo.

"We were very disappointed with our performance against Sligo, so this is redemption," Gavaghan told the Irish World

"We really want to put in a performance to show that London does have a good team. There's definitely a point to prove.

"Hopefully it clicks and we put in a performance worthy of this team."

The Tir Chonaill Gaels forward has led the Exiles to league victories over Carlow in 2017 and Wicklow this year. He's now desperate to lead his native county to championship success.

"Even though we've had some wins in the league in the last few years, and put in some good performances in the league this year, our season is going to be defined by getting a championship win," said Gavaghan.

"A victory over Louth would turn our year into a good season."
