London captain Dave McGreevy revealed that they will give Mayo the respect that they deserve but added that they will not fear them ahead of Sunday's Connacht SFC clash.

The sides meet in Ruislip this weekend and Mayo are overwhelming favourites to go through to the semi-final.

However, McGreevy stressed to the Irish Post that they will use the match as a stepping stone in their progress.

"It's very difficult to even compete against Mayo because they're probably the second or third best team in Ireland at the moment," said McGreevy.

"If you look at the league, we came eighth in Division Four, so the gulf between the two teams is huge. Nobody has stopped Mayo in Connacht in the last five years and I don't think anyone is expecting London to be the team to do that. But we're kind of just viewing this as another step along the way in our development."
