Exiles can follow Carlow lead and stun favourites

-

I REALLY believe London v Leitrim is the exact same scenario as Carlow v Wexford last weekend. That was a game that, on paper, Wexford should have won but I strongly tipped Carlow at 2/1 and I’m doing the same with London now. Leitrim go to Ruislip with injury issues, no less the loss of Emlyn Mulligan to a third cruciate blow. He’s a very good footballer and I wish him well. Significan­tly, of the six Leitrim forwards picked for tomorrow, five are Championsh­ip debutants and that’s a huge amount of inexperien­ce on board at the business end of the field and in what will be an hostile environmen­t. It’s something London can exploit. Furthermor­e, Owen Mulligan has had a big influence on the Exiles over the last few months in a coaching and mental skills capacity. There could well be shock on the cards here. London to win.
