London boss plays down chances of an upset

THERE is bad news for those expecting the kind of sideline sparks beloved of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho when the All-Ireland senior football championship bandwagon rolls into London on Sunday.

Instead, London boss Noel Dunning will have a warm welcome for his Leitrim counterpart Dessie Dolan when the sides square off in the Connacht SFC quarter-final at Ruislip.

Revealed Dunning: “I have known Dessie for years. There was only a mile between us back at home in Athlone. He was actually at my wedding last December in Westport. His eldest son Derek would have been around the same age as me so we would be good friends.”
