Frustration finally over for Mayo’s Mortimer

CONOR MORTIMER admits he found it difficult to watch Mayo games during his season on the sidelines last year.

It’s 18 months since his last appearance in green and red but the 2006 All Star made his competitive return as a substitute scoring two points in Sunday’s FBD Connacht League win over Leitrim.

Mortimer reported no problems with his left knee — on which he had cruciate surgery last February — and is keen on making amends for a frustrating enforced spell out of the set-up.
