Down to bounce back

FOOTBALL: Down v London- A NOTHING game that questions London's place in the qualifiers. Down manager Ross Carr retains a young, talented panel with plenty of potential (something they disguised well in the preliminary defeat to Fermanagh).

Carr makes three changes in defence, with Ciarán McGovern, Timmy Hanna and Paul Murphy in for Luke Howard, Aidan Carr and Declan Rooney. Stephen Kearney moves into midfield alongside Dan Gordon and Conor Maginn is named at centre forward.

A game of little benefit to either team.

DOWN:B McVeigh; C McGovern, K McKernan, D Rafferty; T Hanna, P Murphy, C Garvey; D Gordon, S Kearney; D Hughes, C Maginn, B McArdle; B Coulter, P McComiskey, J Boyle.

London:TBA.

Referee:P Fox (Westmeath).
