In 2024, London GAA finished their their home campaign with a respectable record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.  Waterford were beaten 1-13 (16), 0-11 (11) after a dramatic encounter against Tipperary finished all square at 1-08 to 0-11.  A dramatic late score from Cahir Healy rescued a point for the Londoners. 

SEASON SO FAR

It’s been a respectable, if rollercoaster, season so far in 2025 for The Exiles.  On home soil a tense match against Wicklow in early February saw London’s Matt Moynihan and Shay Rafter notch a couple of late points to secure a memorable 1-20 (23) to 0-21 (21) win.  That was followed by the visit of Limerick who took the spoils in a hard-fought match.  Then came an agonising defeat 1-12 (15), 0-16 (16) at the hands of Longford.  The Londoners fought back from 10-16 down but could not quite overturn the deficit.  After 5 rounds of action London GAA are sixth in Division 4 on 4 points, within striking distance of a clutch of teams above them.

NEXT HOME MATCH

London GAA head to Waterford in Round 6 before returning to McGovern Park in Round 7 where they host Carlow in the final game of the regular season on Sunday 23 March.

Carlow, Limerick, Longford, Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow join London in Division 4.  See below for the full 2025 fixture list.
