LONDON'S hopes of maintaining Division Two status were given a tremendous boost following this display at Ruislip.

With midfielders Pat Jordan and Kevin Grogan well in control, their half time lead of 2-7 to 0-6 was no more than they deserved. The home side stretched their advantage with four further points in the opening eight minutes of the second half to give them an 11 point lead. They then held off a late Kerry revival.
