This win means so much, says Hannon

London captain Seamus Hannon says yesterday’s victory over Sligo comes as no surprise to their squad, and they’re planning a repeat performance in Carrick-on-Shannon next month.

Hannon was influential at wing-back as the Exiles recorded their first Connacht Championship victory since 1977, but the Longford native says they already have their eyes fixed on their June 23 date with Leitrim and are determined to reach a provincial final for the first time.

“We’d know them well from playing them in the league and in last year’s championship [which Leitrim won by a point],” said Hannon.
