Mayo hungry for battle, says Horan

Mayo manager James Horan has promised his team will be “fresh and hungry” for tomorrow evening’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Down at Croke Park.

The Connacht champions have played just two games in the last 14 weeks, including last month’s hard-fought provincial final victory over Sligo.

However, Horan says he’s looking forward to a “fast, high-tempo match” when Mayo lock horns with Down for the very first time in the championship this weekend.
