London v Wexford Qualifier Rd1

[irunthev]

Jason Ryan will be facing the county he played for for four or five seasons while he was a student. Wexford  shouldn't have too much trouble provided they stay focused, for as Down proved last year, take London lightly and they will make life a little awkward for you.
London's primary focus every year is always the Connacht game (which in itself is a major error in planning) and it has always been very difficult for them to keep whatever momentum they may have generated going into the qualifiers (the pressure from clubs becomes immense once the big game in Ruislip is over) and in general their Qualifier record is quite depressing, regardless of how well they they performed in the Connacht game. But then again, there is always a first time, although from what I have heard about their outing against Roscommon, it won't be this year.

Apparently it was announced last night at the CB meeting in London this game will be on the Sunday. Although it will mean a healthier crowd at Ruislip, it will also be advantageous to Wexford in that they will be abel to travel over the day before the game and not on the day of the game as would probably have been the case if it had been played on the Saturday.

Clubs in London kicking-off already as the county team management want the 13-day rule imposed and the fixtures committee and clubs want to get on with the IFC and the JFC.

For such a small football operation, London can make life very very complicated.
