Stephen Rochford not deflected from Corofin task by Mayo talk

Corofin might not have expected the call to have come as early as it did but they know it was always a case of when not if Mayo would rap on Stephen Rochford’s door.

Before the week is out, the Ballinrobe-based Crossmolina man will be appointed as the successor to Noel Connelly and Pat Holmes at the helm of the county side.

All things going well, he might then be in the unique position of plotting the downfall of some of the men currently under his charge like Gary Sice and Michael Lundy in a Connacht semi-final next June.
