With one eye on September Mayo chiefs postpone club games

Mayo GAA chiefs last night caved to growing pressure from players to cancel the weekend’s championship programme - with the All-Ireland final on the horizon.

The move comes after pleas from Gerard Cafferkey and David Brady to do so.

Former player Brady made a direct plea to the County Board on Twitter on Monday to put back the games until after the senior footballers’ All-Ireland final on September 18 to give Stephen Rochford’s side the best possible chance of beating Dublin or Kerry.
