We Were So Looking Forward To Rossies Visit But We Can't Be Dwelling On It

Exiles ace gutted london won’t be hosting connacht championship tie

- Paul Keane

’LAST night should have been one of the proudest of Liam Gavaghan’s London career.

Instead, the Exiles captain sat twiddling his thumbs as the opening fixture of the 2020 football Championship – London v Roscommon in Ruislip – passed without a ball being kicked.

It wasn’t that attacker Gavaghan hadn’t captained his county before, it would have been his fourth Championship campaign with the armband.

But a precious piece of GAA history would have been made if Gavaghan, from Greenford in west London, and new boss Michael Maher had ran out together.

Both are London born and bred and never before have native players captained and managed the team at the same time.
