Here Rev I hear London's trainer is very impressive. On the downside I also hear that that the London selectors are known as the gruesome twosome.

cant say i recognise any of those players, any of them with previous county experience in Ireland, and how many are london born players if any?

Two London born players in starting team, O'Donoghue and Andy Gallagher. Two more on bench Darren Gallagher and Philip Morgan. Two more out injured Paul and Senan Hehir.

None of that team has senior experience at county level outside of London.

As far as "the gruesome twosome", I believe they have thrown a bit of eye candy in there to brighten things up a bit.

Why so many TCG Men?

St Brendans players excluded for another week after their game against Dr Crokes and there are 3 Tara players out injured. Having said that TCG have strongest panel in London, they just messed up in club Championship.
