Waterford put the brakes on London’s progress

THE Sky Sports cameras were at Ruislip on Saturday but they didn’t get the result they were hoping for. In what they described ‘Gaelic football’s version of the FA Cup’, this was one giantkilling act too many for London.

Such was the pre-match fervour surrounding the Exiles, Waterford travelled over to the English capital practically unnoticed, and it played perfectly into their hands. Physically imposing and clinical in attack, the visitors struck an early goal through colossal full-forward Gary Hurney and never looked back.

Waterford’s cause was certainly helped by London, who had key forward Paul Geraghty and Ciarán McCallion both dismissed either side of half-time.
