London claimed their first Christy Ring Cup success in 13 years as they overcame Derry by three points at Croke Park on Saturday afternoon.
Having suffered reverses in the previous two deciders, it proved third time unlucky for Derry, who saw a late free from Cormac O’Doherty deflected narrowly wide as they sought the salvation of extra-time.
