The Connacht final against Galway. The Round 3 Sam Maguire series tie against Dublin. The preliminary quarter-final against Derry. Three times Mayo were a point up in injury time. Three times they let it slip.

For Kevin McStay, this was the toughest to take. They bowed out of the 2024 SFC after losing on penalties in front of a 13,955 crowd in Castlebar.
