He's been registered with Neasden Gaels for the past 3 years but works between London and Paris by all accounts. Has never been involved with the London set-up since he left Armagh and wont be involved against Leitrim. Would be some asset to have though!

Replying To Rosineri1:  "I see there are about 12 teams in the reserve league this year, be interesting to see if there are many walkovers, would probably have been better splitting it in to two groups and having a semi final and final."
Where are they getting the 12 teams from, was only 8 last season! I don't think the walkovers kick in until championship to be honest. Maybe they need to change the championship format to a knock out?

I'd lump on that only it would break my heart and doubt i would have any luck with the money.
Good luck to both teams, London's best chance of a semi final place since 2013, can't wait for the atmosphere in Ruislip on Sunday

Beirne will be big loss for Leitrim, but they will have learned a lot from their league encounter. London look a lot more solid but still concerns over the cutting edge in attack, London forwards are honest but not enough pace or x-factor to really tilt the game in their favour. Cant be stressed how much of a loss Killian Butler is to London either in the inside line.

Leitrim will probably do it by 3, or could be extra time with a Leitrim win.

I totally agree with last post london have played very well in the leauge to be fair I saw a few games. There are missing that marquee forward liam Gavanagn will probably start at 14 i would think. Heading over and I expect London to battle but won't have enough scores on the board. I was excited about butler this year massive loss bigger loss to London than bernie is to leitrim.

Andy made no secret of it that a championship (game) win is the number 1 target this year. Expect 1 or 2 surprises when the team lines out. There is a real buzz in training. Leitrim over the past 2 years have had a better squad in terms of quality players since 94. Moran will translating that ability into match winning on big days. Looking forward to seeing Andy and James on the line in the semi.

Good chance Ed Sheerin playing Wembley. Smaller venue probably sell out.

RIP Mattie, shocking news to hear on Saturday evening, great servant of London GAA, played, managed, reffed both codes, was a club official also. You could have disagreements with him on the pitch but was always forgotten after the game. Huge loss to London GAA.

Hard to know if there have been any fixtures taken place in recent weeks? Hardly no mention of club fixtures or results on London's social media. There is the usual nonsense any time the county football team is in action (never the same effort applied for the hurlers though!), but little to no mention of the club scene. Had hoped things would improve after the poor upkeep of the club info in 2020 and 2021, but doesn't seem to have improved from early showing.

Fixtures for this weekend now up on the website, twitter and facebook pages.
Would definitely be good to see some longer term view, even a fixture plan to know which weekends were earmarked
