Unlucky Mayo can still make their mark in qualifiers

ANOTHER big game leaves Mayo fans wondering what might have been. That seven-year curse for breaking all the mirrors must nearly be up. Or maybe just some counties were born unlucky in football.

They have honed post-mortems of big football games into an art form in the county. They have had a lot of practice. This was another match where they just didn’t seem to get those breaks.

There was the missed penalty, but also the loss of Fergal Costello and Gary Mullins, who was having an excellent game, both to accidents.
