Footballer of the year nominee Jack Carney says the Mayo squad’s recent holiday in Barbados has drawn a line between their 2026 and ’27 seasons.

As collective inter-county training officially returns on November 20, a day after the provincial football championship draws, the midfielder said the time spent in The Caribbean came at the right time for the All-Ireland SFC winners.
