Exiles pondering move to Leinster

London look set to compete in next year’s Leinster senior hurling championship following last weekend’s historic Christy Ring Cup success.

Having captured the Nicky Rackard Cup just 12 months ago, the Exiles claimed the second tier title on Saturday courtesy of a 4-18 to 1-17 victory over Wicklow at Croke Park. London now have the option of moving up a level to compete in the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2013, with Croke Park requiring a final decision by September 30.

The London County Board have already pledged their backing to the team, insisting that the decision will be left up to the players and management.
