The new Mayo management are keen for the team to make Hastings Insurance MacHale Park “a fortress” but Kevin McStay knows it’s easier said than done.

Between league and championship, Mayo’s home form has been disappointing for several seasons. However, there is a guarantee of a championship game in Castlebar in 2023 in either the newly-formatted Sam Maguire or Tailteann Cup on top of the Division 1 games and it is a focus for the group.
