Duffy looking for improvement as Mayo chase hat-trick

MAYO are chasing a hat-trick of titles when they play Galway in the Connacht minor football championship final in Castlebar tomorrow.

They can start five of last year’s winning team – Darren Coen, Cillian O’Connor, Castlebar Mitchels duo Danny Kirby and Fergal Durkan and Conor Walsh. The defending champions defeated Roscommon in round one and Leitrim in the semi-final but were not convincing in either game, something that is of concern to team coach Tony Duffy.

“It’s difficult to keep on winning,” said Duffy, “but the incentive is there for the lads to make it three wins in a row, and particularly for the five lads who played last year.
