Barrett thrilled with Mayo’s composure and winning attitude

More energy, better composure and a ferocious work-rate were the three vital ingredients that helped Mayo to get back to winning ways in the National League against Kerry last weekend.

That’s the assessment of their All-Star defender, Chris Barrett, whose brave block in the second half to thwart a Kingdom goal chance epitomised Mayo’s attitude and application in Tralee. The Belmullet native admitted afterwards that he and his team-mates had failed to reach the standards they had set themselves during recent defeats to Dublin and Galway.
