Matthew Walsh bundled home a 76th minute goal as London snatched a Division 4 draw with Wexford at Chadwicks Wexford Park on Saturday.Wexford appeared set to hold out after Player of the Match Seán Nolan grabbed a fortuitous 46th minute major to inspire a 1-08 to 0-05 surge.But gritty London were ultimately rewarded for their persistence when Walsh flicked home a set up by substitute Conal Gallagher to force a share of the spoils as Wexford finished with 13 men.The hosts - debuting an alternative green jersey to mark their first All-Ireland SFC glory 130 years ago - carved out a 0-05 to 0-02 interval advantage while also threatening on three occasions to rattle the net when seizing upon kick-out blunders from London stopper Kevin Mullan.Seán Nolan launched the first two points – his second barely flying over the crossbar much to London's relief in the twelfth minute before a 3,497 attendance.London, although enterprising, lacked real bite upfront, and while Chris Frawley got them on target from a 23rd minute free, the home-side remained most vibrant when easing ahead 0-05 to 0-02 in the 28th minute with additions from Kevin O’Grady, Mark Rossiter (free) and Eoghan Nolan.Seán Nolan again went dangerously close with goaling chances approaching the interval - being bundled out in the 33rd minute, before London recovered as the dangerous full-forward again threatened during added-time.London demonstrated greater purpose upfront on the restart when closing to within 0-06 to 0-05 after 43 minutes through Liam Gavaghan, Chris Frawley and Matthew Walsh.But while Seán Nolan was again denied a goal in the 44th minute, he returned with a vengance two minutes later – producing a wonderful interception out-field before cutting
