'It has to be good for Mayo GAA' - Kevin McStay finally lands Mayo job

Third time was a charm as his home county have backed their man and his impressive team. 

BRAINS TRUST: New Mayo boss Kevin McStay and one of his coaches, Stephen Rochford.

After failing on two separate occasions to be named as Mayo senior football manager, it was third time lucky for Kevin McStay after he was appointed to the position at last night’s Mayo GAA County Board meeting.

The former Mayo footballer and Roscommon manager succeeds James Horan and beat off stiff competition from Ray Dempsey, Declan Shaw and Mike Solan. The Ballina man has been handed a four-year term.
