Exiles hit by transfers

The preparations of London senior hurling manager Brendan Bolger ahead of his side's Ulster championship opener against Antrim on Sunday week have been hit by the news that seven players have transferred out of the county.

London hurling hit the news for the right reasons earlier this year when Robert Emmets won the All-Ireland Intermediate title at Croke Park but seven players from that side have now opted to transfer back to their home clubs in Ireland.
