Mayo are going to great lengths to make sure their logistic planning for their Connacht SFC clash against London in Ruislip are spot on.

Manager Stephen Rochford and members of his backroom team were in London for a few days planning their schedule for the match on May 29^th.

Five years ago, Mayo needed extra time to beat the Exiles in Ruislip and there was a lot of criticism over their travelling schedule on that occasion.

And Rochford is certainly not going to fall into that trap again as he revealed to the Mayo News.

"I do see it as a responsibility of the management with the logistics aspect when you are going abroad," said Rochford.

"You need to have the players concentrating on football, and being focused on a 70 minute game at Ruislip.

"We have put in a nice bit of work into it, going back to January. Myself and part of the management team were over there a couple of weeks ago to get a feel for what those plans will look like. We are happy enough that we have a lot of the boxes ticked at this stage."
