Eamonn Fitzmaurice: Mayo have their mojo back

Eamonn Fitzmaurice believes that Mayo have rediscovered their mojo at a critical juncture of the season thanks to a “glut of games”.

The Kerry boss dismissed the notion that Stephen Rochford’s squad are running on fumes after seven championship outings, insisting last night that Mayo’s run to Sunday week’s All-Ireland semi-final has been “all but perfect”.

“I don’t buy into that (Mayo fatigue) at all. Over the past few weeks, they’ll have done very little training, they will have been tapering it the whole time. They’ve had a glut of games, and players will always thrive on games over training.
