Joe McGill top-scored and Ciaran Diver also got in on the act as London were narrowly beaten by Leitrim in the National Football League Division 4.

Naomh Colmcille man Daniel Clarke started in attack along with McGill, while Diver was a first-half substitute for the injured Kristian Healy.

The Exiles looked in full control of the game at half-time, as they led by 1-14 to 1-4 with the goal coming from Michael O’Reilly, which was soon cancelled out by Fergal McLoughlin's effort that found the net.

St Mary’s, Convoy clubman McGill hit 0-9 in total, with almost all of it coming in that first half, while Moville’s Diver hit 0-3 over the 70 minutes.

But a second-half comeback, inspired by Barry McNulty, who kicked six two-pointers, and a goal from Tom Prior, allowed the Green and Gold to complete a brilliant turnaround.
