Confident Cillian O’Connor clear on what has to be done

Cillian O’Connor never felt that the Mayo cause was a lost one this year, even after the dreadful Connacht defeat by Galway.

They barely made it beyond Fermanagh and were more impressive against Kildare but the odds favoured Tyrone to advance.

With O’Connor around, you always have a chance. While free-taking opportunities were sparse, half of his six points came from play. When he goes well, so do Mayo.
