Eighteen games into his management of the Mayo senior football team and after suffering his sixth loss, Kevin McStay’s usual cheery tone was absent last Saturday evening.

The team that started in Omagh was not as strong as the line-ups in the three previous games but post-defeat McStay wasn’t his usual glass-half-full self. “It’s a disappointing performance and a disappointing result,” he told RTÉ. “We were expecting a bit more from ourselves at half-time, I can assure you.”
