London will travel with an unchanged side for Sunday’s historic Connacht football final against Mayo at MacHale Park.

Exiles manager Paul Goggins has retained the same starting XV that overcame Leitrim at the second time of asking last month to set up a crack at James Horan's side.

Horan named his side late last night, the coach electing to make four changes from their semi-final win over Roscommon.

As expected, Andy Moran makes his first start of the championship campaign after being held in reserve up until now with a knee injury while Rob Hennelly replaces David Clarke in the goal.
