After a year which began without a team manager London football can look back on 12 months of considerable progress.

Despite an abysmal league campaign London manager Noel Dunning insisted his side were capable of defeating Roscommon in their opening round game at Ruislip.

However very few could believe the performance London put up against Roscommon as they were unfortunate to lose by a single point.

Dunning will be hoping to test London’s progress in the forthcoming National League.

The Exiles will then face an important Connacht championship date against Mayo on May 28 at Ruislip.

After a competitive London senior football championship, there should be plenty of talent at the manager’s disposal and hopefully heavy defeats for Dunning’s team should be a thing of the past.
