London manager Ciaran Deely was happy with his side's performance against Mayo.

The Exiles lost by 0-9 to 2-13 in Ruislip, but they could still take positives from the game according to the former Wexford star.

"We made it difficult for them," he is quoted as saying in the Irish Independent.

"I'm very happy with my lads, very proud of my players in that after those two goals, our lads never let it actually get to them. They never died.

"We lost by 13 points in the end, but I think we were behind by nine points in the first half, so I thought our lads did well. They kept going until the end, so I'm very proud of them."

London started four home-grown players and this was another source of encouragement for the manager.

"We have lads like Ciaran Healy coming on for his debut - London-born and family are from Mayo originally. He acquitted himself perfectly well against some top players in Ireland."
