National Football League: Division Two A: For the second successive week the London footballers were on the receiving end of a hammering in the league.

After losing to Leitrim by 18 points the previous weekend, London went down by 13 points at Ruislip in London yesterday and it would seem recently-elected manager Noel Dunning has much work to be do if the side is to make any headway in the remaining games.

Two goals by corner forward Mark Connor in the first half and another by the same player midway through the second period ended the game as contest with four of London's five points coming from free-taker Gordon Weldon.

LONGFORD: D Sheridan; D Brady, D Corcoran, E Ledwith; A O'Connor, D Blessington (0-1) J Malley; P O'Hara (0-1), B McElvaney (0-1); J Martin, K Mulligan, P Dowd; M Connor (3-1) N Sheridan, P Davies (0-5). Subs: J Kiernan for J Martin, M Lennon for K Mulligan, T Glendinning for P Dowd, T Smullen for N Sheridan, D Glennon for D Blessington.
