We certainly don’t fear Dubs, insists Rochford

Mayo may not have beaten Dublin in a competitive fixture for almost six years, but Stephen Rochford says that his team ‘certainly don’t fear’ the three-in-a-row All-Ireland champions.

The Dubs are unbeaten in 12 matches against Mayo since the 2012 All-Ireland SFC semi-final, although they needed replays to overcome the Westerners in both the 2015 All-Ireland semi-final and 2016 All-Ireland final.

Jim Gavin’s team also came out on top in last September’s All-Ireland decider with just a point to spare, stretching their unbeaten run against Mayo.
