Castlebar Mitchels driven on by poor showing in All-Ireland final

Second half goals from man-of-the-match Paddy Durcan, Neil Douglas, and Barry Moran propelled the champions to their first back-to-back county championships since 1970. And according to Mitchels joint manager Declan Shaw, Castlebar’s lacklustre display against Ballyboden St Enda’s more than seven months ago was a major factor.
“We were bitterly disappointed with our performance at Croke Park and that was something that was in our heads coming here,” he admitted.
