Mayo secretary Ronan Kirrane believed the senior footballers were “running out road” prior to being knocked out of this year’s championship on penalties to Derry in an All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final.

Although Kirrane makes no reference in his annual report to the Revenue’s audit of the county board’s accounts nor the prolonged review of the senior footballers’ season, his analysis of the team’s championship campaign is frank.
