Mayo GAA Senior Football Team Announced
Press Release www.mayogaa.com
Mayo senior football manager Kevin McStay has made one change to his team that started against Galway last weekend. They face Tyrone this Sunday 16th February at 1:45pm for Round 3 of the Allianz National Football League in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park.
Eoghan McLaughlin Westport will replace Sam Callinan. Stephen Coen Hollymount Carramore will captain the team on the day.
Mayo and Tyrone meet in the league for the 33rd time, since the first meeting of the counties in the 1973/74 National League, a game that was played here in MacHale Park. Before that, Tyrone usually played the other Ulster counties in the Lagan Cup, which was the northern section of the League. As they didn’t enjoy any great success in the competition, they never crossed paths with Mayo before then.
The rivalry between the counties since 1974 has always been intense, as can be gauged from the closeness of some of the scorelines, and with 6 games drawn. Tyrone has 14 victories to Mayo’s 12.
Hastings Insurance MacHale Park has hosted the most meetings with 12, followed by Healy Park Omagh with 10, with Ballina, Coalisland and Dungannon hosting 2 meetings, and Crossmolina, Ballyhaunis and Knockmore 1 meeting. The counties 2002 semi-final meeting was held in Enniskillen. Indeed Castlebar and Omagh have become the venues at which these two counties meet in the League in modern times, the last meeting at a venue other than these was the 2002 semi-final meeting, and before that their 1995 meeting which took place in Dungannon
The last 10 league meetings between the counties ended as follows :
2013 Castlebar Tyrone 1-12 Mayo 1-11
2014 Omagh Tyrone 2-15 Mayo 0-16
2015 Castlebar Tyrone 1-11 Mayo 1-7
