London Senior Football Championship.
County team London entered the
National Football League in 1993 and were initially fairly successful with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in their first campaign and the renewed effort coincided with a drive to establish the games in schools. London now fields its second team in the British Junior football and hurling Championships. Their first football team have competed in the
Connacht Senior Football Championship since 1975, but in the first 37 years of competing could only manage one win: a 0–9 to 0–6 defeat of
Leitrim in 1977. After going down by 9–19 to 1–10 against
Roscommon in 1980 they staged matches at home in Ruislip and came close to victory against Leitrim in 1987,
Sligo in 1988 and Roscommon in 2005. Among their footballers was Brian Grealish, whose brother Tony played association football for the Republic of Ireland. Due to the
Foot and Mouth crisis in England, London withdrew from the 2001 Connacht Senior Football Championship; their first round championship fixture against
Mayo was cancelled until the 2006 fixture between the teams. In June 2011, London were defeated in extra-time against Mayo in the Connacht Championship, London entered the first qualifying round and defeated
Fermanagh by 0–15 to 0–9 in Ruislip in the first round of the qualifiers, recording their first championship win for 34 years. London were drawn against
Waterford for their second qualifying round match. In 2013, the GAA banned London from travelling to Ireland for warm-up games, as a result of a GAA rule put in place to prevent teams travelling abroad for training camps in the run up to the championship, putting them at a major disadvantage to other counties. On 26 May 2013, London defeated Sligo by a scoreline of 1–12 to 0–14 to gain their first victory in the Connacht Championship since 1977.
Lorcan Mulvey scored the vital London goal. The day after they defeated Sligo was a
bank holiday in England so the players rested. London held
Leitrim in the Connacht semi-final then won the replay. After these three games they headed for the Connacht final - their first appearance at that level - but lost to
Mayo. They arrived in Ireland for the final on a specially chartered jet. Thus they entered Round 4 of the Qualifiers for the All-Ireland Series - also their first time to feature there. They drew
Cavan, their first Championship meeting with them and the game was set for
Croke Park, another historic occasion for London. Cavan won by a score of 1–17 to 1–08 to proceed to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
Lorcan Mulvey was later nominated for an
All Star, but was not selected. In 2018, London fielded a record six London-born starters in their championship line-up in their defeat to
Sligo in the
Connacht Senior Football Championship, with a further two on the bench. ==Hurling==
