Mayo boss Kelly reveals strain of raising junior profile

Mayo manager John Kelly believes the job of promoting the junior championship within each county has become tougher each year due to constant talk about its possible demise.

The Moy Davitts clubman has found it hard to encourage clubs to send players into his squad due to rumours about the tournament’s dissolution devaluing the worth of the competition.

“We don’t even know if there’s going to be a competition, to be honest with you,” he said.
