Michael Glaveys native, Paul Coggins, has led London to the promised land in the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship.
London defeated USGAA by 5-12 to 0-17 in Sunday's decider in Croke Park.
It was sweet revenge for Coggins and his London team who had been beaten by New York by a point in the finals of 2024 and 2025.
It was London's first All-Ireland junior title since 1986.
Coggins, from Granlahan, is no stranger to managing London teams, leading the London senior footballers to a first Connacht final appearance against Mayo in 2013.
