Mayo GAA Thread

Does club form come into account when deciding an all star or player of the year? I don't believe it does…

Castlebar into the final for the first time since 2017. 5th year in a row a town team to win the senior county title?

Just have to beat the London champions then to reach the Connacht senior final. Castlebar the last Mayo Connacht winner in 2015 with that draw they'll fancy their chances

Cillian O Connor officially retires. What a servant to Mayo football. 7 Connacht titles, 2 NFLs, 2 all stars and 2 young player of the year awards and finally a Celtic cross this year. Okay he didn't win it on the field but I'm sure his guidance for the younger lads was al part of it. He also leaves as the highest scorer in championship football until Clifford likely overtakes him.

I was in The Hyde in his debut season as a young 18 year old when his 0-8 from frees helped Mayo overcome Roscommon in what can only be described as a hurricane.

I saw him kick sideline points down in the Pairc to beat Cork from sublime angles not once but twice from each side of the field. He was sublime in the 2014 semi final Croke Park game…4-9 v Tipp in a semi final. His equalizer at the death in the 2016 final…many great great memories. I wish him all the best.
