Mayo manager John O'Mahony has expressed his relief that strike action has been avoided and the county panel can focus their attention on the year ahead. O'Mahony previously stated he was worried by the strike action and said he wouldn't be going ahead with matches should he be missing players because of the strike. The TD is looking forward to the new season. "It's a relief for everybody. The issue went for so long without resolution and then there was threat of strike action hanging over the association. "Nobody wanted uncertainty heading into the new year, nor anything that was going to be divisive so it's good news all round. "Now everyone can concentrate on the real business of playing," explained O'Mahony Tweet
