Mayo’s faint hopes of their Allianz Football League final against Galway being moved to this Saturday were dashed by confirmation the game will be played in Croke Park on Sunday.

Speaking at the weekend, manager Kevin McStay had expected the game to take place on Sunday and the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) have fixed the match for April 2 with a 4pm throw-in.
