Last year we got to witness football with a difference and this year was one step closer to the football we experienced before all the chaos started.
The news that Mayo would be playing Division 2 football was not everyone’s cup of the tea but we can now say we got through it ! New jerseys, more new players, a fresh start that was badly needed for Mayo GAA.

Like most things it was kind of a eerie feeling because you never knew how these teams were going to perform because the main battle was to get to that top division.
The recent retirements that were announced put a dent in the spirits of the people of Mayo but even though the league just finished seeing the player’s performances so far it gives assurance hey its going to be fine.
At first I was like who’s this Rory Brickerden, Enda Hession, Darren McHale, you’ve gotten so use to seeing the likes of Donie Vaughan, Tom Parsons or David Clarke in starting 15 but you know they say first impressions last and after such little time I am assured that there is a bright future ahead for this years senior debutants.
