Mayo ambitions hindered by rescheduled tie

With a yawning break of 11 weeks between their last round game and Connacht semi-final, it’s competitive games Mayo want — and badly.

Of course, that gap could be reduced by a week were they to finish in the top four of Allianz Division 1 and reach a semi-final.

But their task has been made all the more difficult by the rescheduling of their home game against Dublin for March 31, meaning this Saturday’s trip to Armagh is their first of six league fixtures in as many weeks.
