Mayo Senior Football Team Announced

Press Release www.mayogaa.com

Mayo senior football manager Kevin McStay has made two changes from the team that started against Armagh last  week for this weekend’s Round 5 of the Allianz National Football League with Kerry at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park on Saturday 1st March at 3pm.

The two changes to the Mayo team sees Jack Coyne Ballyhaunis replace Eoin O’Donoghue and Aidan O’Shea Breaffy comes in for Conor Reid. Stephen Coen Hollymount Carramore will captain the team on the day.

Mayo and Kerry have met on 54 occasions in League action, with the Kingdom being the county Mayo have met most often in League fare. Mayo and Kerry first met in the League 1928, when the Kingdom won a semi-final meeting between the counties on a 0-6 to 0-4 score-line, in a game that was played in Castlebar. The Munstermen hold an overall advantage, 27 wins to 23, with four games drawn. Three of those games have been League finals, with Kerry coming out on top in 1971 and 1972, and Mayo winning the most recent final meeting in 2019.

Since the turn of the century Mayo has had the upper-hand in League meetings between the two counties. Of the 22 meetings between the counties since 2000, Mayo has 12 wins, to the Kingdom’s 9, with the 2012 meeting in Tralee finishing all square.

11 different venues have hosted League meetings between the counties. Tralee with 16 meetings and Castlebar with 15 have been the most popular, while there were 7 meetings in Croke Park in the latter stages of the competition, including three final meetings. Other venues used have been Ballina 4, Killarney 3, Crossmolina 2, Salthill 2, and Thurles, Limerick, Listowel and Ennis with one meeting each.

Sean Hurson from Tyrone has been announced as the referee for the game on Saturday.
