Padden: O’Connor loss could haunt Mayo down the road

Mayo will have to manage without their injured captain Diarmuid O’Connor for tomorrow evening’s do-or-die All-Ireland SFC Qualifier against Armagh in Castlebar, but the true cost of his absence may not be felt until later in the All-Ireland series.

That’s according to former Mayo and Armagh footballer, Billy Joe Padden, who feels that James Horan may be able to come up with a successful solution this weekend, but repeating the trick for potential upcoming games will be easier said than done.
