The Clann na nGael attacker, who will miss the MacHale Park clash with a hamstring injury, says John Evans' underdogs are determined to atone for their 2011 Connacht final loss to the three-in-a-row chasing champions.
"It was a terrible day in the Hyde and we know we missed a few chances and we could have taken them that day," he recalled in the Irish Daily Star.
"But if you look at the two sides, not much has changed when we probably should have beaten them and didn't.
"Mayo have probably been together under James Horan a bit longer and they're developed a bit more. They have a bit more experience, and that's probably where they're getting a bit over us.
"We're looking to cause an upset. I think if we can stay in the game and just match Mayo for the first 40 minutes, we'll definitely be there or thereabouts. We will be confident. We're well able to beat Mayo, we've beaten them before and we're a similar team to what we had, if not better." Tweet
