Mayo duo back in contention

INJURED Mayo midfielder Ronan McGarrity returned to training with the county squad last night, less than two weeks before the Connacht SFC semi-final showdown with Galway.

The 29 years-old midfielder has been sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury for the last ten weeks and did not tog out for Ballina Stephenites in the Mayo SFC last weekend.

However, the former Mayo captain has been following a strict individual rehabilitation programme in recent weeks and will be given every chance to prove his fitness for the June 26 clash in Castlebar.
