Swinging 60s lit up a great Connacht rivalry

It’s 50 years since arguably the greatest Connacht football rivalry of them all fired its first shots.

The Mayo v Galway running battles from 1964 to ’67 resulted in three All-Irelands for the Tribesmen and a lifetime of wondering what could have been for Mayo.

Even though the warriors from the day have aged, their feats are still talked about it in the west in the same way Kerry’s golden generation’s bouts with Dublin are remembered in other parts of the country.
