New Mayo manager Andy Moran is ‘hopeful’ that two-time All-Star Cillian O’Connor will return to the senior team for the 2026 season.

On Thursday night, Moran was ratified at a County Board meeting in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park. Speaking at his first press conference, the Mayo boss said the door was open to players who departed recently.
