I was out doing a bit of work in Gaelic Park, New York five weeks ago when Mayo started their championship campaign with a facile win over the home team.

No sooner had the game finished than the band kicked off their night’s entertainment with the obligatory ‘Green and Red of Mayo’ to a rapturous response.
