For the first time in a while, Roscommon have got a tasty draw in Connacht, with only London and Leitrim lying between them and the provincial final. Against that, Gay Sheeran has been struck with an injury plague but the advantage of the draw more than compensates. If Roscommon are to advance their case to a new level this year, the team will need more gears - an acquisition not immediately obvious in the otherwise satisfactory league campaign. London come to this fixture with low prospects and lower morale. Manager Tommy McDermott acknowledges that economic conditions have reversed the flow of immigrants who used to constitute teams in the past and accentuated the flow of those who don't. In this environment and with travel home so easy for serious footballers, it's hard to see the point in maintaining this championship link.
