Heavy Mayo representation as London side announced for Connnacht clash

THERE is guaranteed to be heavy Mayo representation in the London side taking on the Green and Red in McGovern Park tomorrow following the announcement of The Exiles starting team.

This Connacht Championship clash sees the men from the Big Smoke aiming to pull off an upset and halt the visitors' Nestor Cup hopes.

The first Mayo man included in the starting side is Conor O'Donohue. The Charlestown Sarsfields defender has been an ever-present during the National League for Michael Maher's troops.

The second inclusion with Mayo blood is Shay Rafter. The full-forward, of Cill Chomáin stock, is one who has been the fulcrum of this team in recent seasons.

Ciaran Gaughan, of Bonniconlon, and Swinford native Stephen Henry, each of whom got plenty of gametime in the FBD League, will be aiming to do damage to their home county from the bench, as they are listed among the substitutes.

The London team is as follows. Throw-in in Ruislip is at 2.30 pm.

London: Andy Walsh; Daire Rooney, Matt Moynihan, Sean O’Donoghue; Ciaran McKeon, Conal Gallagher, Conor O’Donohue; Liam Gallagher, Daniel Clarke; Josh Obahor, Jim Davis, Kristian Healy; Micheal O’Reilly, Shay Rafter, Joe McGill.

Subs: Cormac McConnell, Conor Redican, Ciaran Gaughan, Nathan Feeney, Shaun Wogan, Liam Crowley, Conor Goggin, Marc Friel, Stephen Henry, Liam Murphy, Finbarr Crowley.
