Christy Ring: London 2-08 1-25 Down

Down eased to victory in their opening Christy Ring Cup encounter at a windy Ruislip on Sunday.

The Exiles enjoyed the wind advantage in the first half but the Mourne men dominated and despite Mark Mythen's goal they led 0-11 to 1-6 at the break.

Six unanswered points at the start of the second half put Down clear.

Ian Walsh netted for London's second goal but the visitors were always in control and substitute Gareth Johnston hit 1-2 in the final six minutes.
