Antrim 1-12
London 1-8
ANTRIM made it two National Football Leagues win on the bounce with a tougher than expected home victory over London at Toome on Sunday afternoon.
The success puts Frank Fitzsimons' men right back into promotion contention, with a trip to Waterford to come next weekend.
However, the hosts didn’t have everything their own way at Cargin’s home ground, with the Exiles getting off to a dream start when they had the ball in the Antrim net after only 45 seconds following an opportunistic Alan O'Hara strike.
Antrim replied with a Conor McGourty penalty and despite the dismissal of Conor Burke Fitzsimons' side held on.
