Mayo chief looks to close the gap

NEW Mayo boss John O’Mahony believes that there is still ‘a fair gap’ between themselves and Kerry, their opening League opponents in Castlebar on Sunday.

He was speaking at the official launch of the Allianz League in Dublin yesterday, which was performed by the Taoiseach in company with Ulster chairman Micheal Greenan, who was representing the president.

O’Mahony, who is also preoccupied with campaigning for the next General Election, was accompanied by new Kerry manager Pat O’Shea, Dublin manager Paul Caffrey and Louth’s Eamonn McMcEnaney
