London manager Fergus McMahon is hoping that they can get all their travel plans spot on for Saturday's Christy Ring Cup opener against Derry at Ballinascreen.

Throw in for the game is 1pm and the London squad will fly into Dublin this evening (Friday) before travelling to their hotel in Dundalk where they will stay over night before making the journey north on Saturday morning.

Having played all their NHL 2A matches at home this year, McMahon admitted that they are not used to travelling and it was key to get everything spot on in their preparations.

"We haven't been used to travelling at all. All our league games were in Ruislip," said McMahon. "The logistics are tough and it will be hard to travel up there, at least an hour and half on the bus, from wherever we stay in the hotel in Dundalk.

"It's going to be a tough, tough ask for our lads. Derry probably under-performed in the league and they'll know that. They will be looking for a response against us."
