Mayo board seek reduction of €10,000 fine

The Mayo County Board hope they will be able to reduce the €10,000 fine handed down to them by the Connacht Council for not playing in last month’s FBD Connacht League final in New York.

Describing the punishment as “a bit excessive”, Mayo PRO Aiden McLoughlin said dialogue is taking place between the parties.

In September, Mayo informed the council they would not be travelling for the final against New York on October 7 because of a backlog of club fixtures and unavailability of players.
