Division Two A/Leitrim 0-13 London 0-10:Leitrim are still on course for Division Three football after a fortuitous three-point victory over London at Ruislip yesterday. But London could have caused a real sensation had Paul Hehir's goalbound attempt not come off the crossbar in the 50th minute.

The teams were level at 0-2 apiece after 19 minutes. Further points from Niall Clinton and Dara Kinneavy for London and top scorer Ciaran Duignan and Colin Regan for Leitrim made it 0-4 to 0-4 at the interval.

The score was still level midway through the second half at 0-6 each before Duignan's pointed free gave Leitrim a lead they never relinquished. London twice got back on level terms but three more points from Duignan sealed the visitors' win.

LEITRIM: N Gill; D Reynolds, M McGuinness, A O'Flynn; P Gilmartin, B McWeeney, S Foley; G McCloskey, S Canning; C Regan (0-1), B Prior, M Foley (0-1 free); D Brennan, D Maxwell (0-3), C Duignan (0-8, five frees).
