Mayo defender Stephen Coen says the focus has been on themselves this season and will continue to be as they get set to take on Dublin in Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC final.

The Connacht champions are ranked as 9/2 outsiders to topple the Dubs’ bid for six-in-a-row, with the counties meeting in their third final in five years.

Speaking to GAA.ie, Coen is hopeful for a different result this time round and believes they have the players to achieve it.

“I think the big thing is that we’re focusing on ourselves, we’re trying to improve all the time," he said.

"We’ve got a lot of new players who are extremely exciting and don’t even think about results or the next game or two weeks’ time, they’re just thinking of the now.

"Very much in the present and I think we’re all in that mindset at the minute so we’re going to focus on every 30 seconds and every minute of the game, break it down in those small little minute details.

"I suppose get the most out of ourselves for the 70 minutes and I think we did a lot of good things right the last day and if we can do that more often for the 70 minutes I think it’ll bode well for us."
