Mayo sweat over stars

MAYO manager James Horan anxiously awaits a report from his medical team tonight as they assess all county players involved in the county club championship at the weekend.

Peadar Gardiner (hamstring), David Clarke (ankle), Aidan O’Shea (hip) and Mark Ronaldson (suspected concussion) are believed to be the main injury worries after a hectic 24 hours of activity.

The injury to experienced defender Gardiner is believed to be the biggest concern ahead of Mayo’s upcoming All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Kerry on Sunday. The Crossmolina star tore his hamstring during the side’s third-round defeat against county champions Ballintubber on Saturday evening.
