Amicable meeting between Horan and Mayo County Board

Mayo county board’s meeting with manager James Horan on Wednesday night to discuss comments he made about fundraising activities in New York ended amicably.

Horan blamed the county board after hundreds of fans, who paid $50 (€36) per head to meet the team two nights before their clash with New York, were left irate when the side did not turn up.

“It had been discussed on numerous occasions and it was made very clear that the Mayo team would not go to any fundraiser before the match,” Horan said. “This was made absolutely clear to the county board weeks in advance and I’m not sure how the confusion arose but the situation was very clear to us.”
