O’Connor set to miss Mayo’s final tilt

Cillian O’Connor admits he is unlikely to be fit for Mayo’s third tilt at a Connacht title when they face London in Castlebar in the July 21 final.

The two-time young footballer of the year dislocated his shoulder for a second time last month playing for Ballintubber against Claremorris and will likely require surgery at the end of the year.

“It’s getting there. It’s a slow process but it’s improving all the time. I’m trying to stick to the medical plan being laid down for me. It’s getting there but it’s tedious at times and it’s slow.
