Derry hurlers take on London
DERRY senior hurlers play their second game in The National Hurling League Division 3A on Sunday when they travel to London for what will be a difficult enough assignment against an improved London team that won promotion last season.
The economic down turn in Ireland has seen a lot more emigration to London and this has strengthened their hand.
Derry have always found them a difficult side to handle and on the tight and heavy Ruislip pitch skill may not be a motivating factor.

Derry will have to up their performance from last Sunday's heavy defeat by Kerry and if they are to figure in the promotion race they cannot afford to slip up in this game.
