Mayo board to demand explanation for players’ discontent

An emergency meeting of the Mayo County Board executive was held last night to plot a course of action ahead of this evening’s sit-down with player representatives.

A meeting of top-brass had been scheduled for this week to finalise interviews for the vacant Mayo U21 manager’s position, but the agenda was cleared to discuss the crisis which has rocked the county.

Secretary Vincent Neary said an explanation will be demanded from team captain Keith Higgins and vice-captain Cillian O’Connor this evening as to the reasons behind their no- confidence vote in the management team.
