All-Ireland qualifier - Down v London

Newry, the sun was shining. London were in town. Down blew them away in the first half and then fell asleep. It was a poor display against the Exiles, Laois are up next for Ross Carr's men and despite their bad performance they should beat Laois.

Laois are a big, physical team and that will suit Down. At home they are a handful for anyone. The bookies will go with Laois, especially after Down's second half collaspe last Saturday. But my money is on Down, they are a bad team, but should raise their game enough to shunt a poor Laois outfit out the back door.

I reported on the All-Ireland qualifier for 14 newspapers in total, both Sunday and Daily National newspapers.
