London bound for Headquarters as part of qualifiers triple-header

Beaten Connacht finalists to face Cavan at Croke Park

Despite losing out to Mayo in the Connacht final yesterday, London will have their day in Headquarters when they take on Cavan as part of an All-Ireland Championship qualifiers triple-header on Saturday.

The Exiles were soundly beaten - 5-11 to 0-10 - in their first ever provincial final at MacHale Park but there is still time for another first in this their most memorable of summers; a chance to run out in Croke Park in the championship and upset the odds with victory over the beaten Ulster semi-finalists.

The first game of the day is scheduled for a 3pm throw-in and will precede Cork v Galway (5pm) and Meath v Tyrone (7pm).

The other Round 4 qualifier between beaten Ulster finalists Donegal and Laois will take place in Carrick-on-Shannon at 5pm.
