McStay battles with head and heart to call Connacht opener

It’s tough being a TV commentator when your former team is involved, the thin line you must tread.

He wasn’t saying so of course, not in so many words, but former Mayo corner forward Kevin McStay faces that prospect when his county takes on Galway in the Connacht SFC this Sunday.

They’re in a different league at the moment, of course. Mayo are one of the top teams in the country for the past several seasons while Galway are struggling in Division 2 — far from the dizzy heights of the end of the ’90s and early ’00s.
