The pundits over the past 4 years or so have said that Mayo have no interest in the Nestor Cup and that they are only preparing for August. This year I think Mayo are trying to Ambush Connacht. Anyway, I hope they get exactly what they deserve. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1669 - 17/04/2019 12:49:32 2179277 Link

Yes which was a strange one as Cork are the last team to win through the back door in 2010 I believe. Fewpucks24 (Galway) - Posts: 124 - 17/04/2019 14:04:19 2179285 Link
My honest opinion and leaving out winding up mayo lads for a second (its great to see the auld rivalry and banter back with an edge though isnt it?!), I can see a reversal of current trends in that I think Mayo are fitter earlier in the year with a better idea of their starting 13 anyway and have had the use of their full team for much of 2019 so Mayo for Connacht but Galway to go further in the championship.

Replying To Fewpucks24: "I was referring to Galway beating Mayo in 2016,2017 and 2018 home and away. All in the Connacht Championship. Yes , plenty of football to be played before then. Like the tricky Roscommon game." How many of those games were in Pearse? Just 2017 I believe. I will accept the tacit admission of your mistake, no worries. Roscommon can of course be tricky, and they also are long overdue (by 18 years) a victory over us in championship football. Ye should know given that they've given ye a few trimmings in recent years. A few returnees for the Roscommunists, as recently announced, could make it a tough assignment. However, Mayo's record against them at home is good. Let's see.

"Tacit " , Explain that mistake :) Yes it's a long time. Mayo haven't won the big one in nearly 3 times that figure so there's no time like the present Gleebo. They bet us by 9 in 2017, we also gave them a trimming in the replay final of '16 so perhaps it was payback. This could be the 4th year in a row we see a Galway Rossie's final. Sure it will be an interesting campaign. Fewpucks24 (Galway) - Posts: 124 - 17/04/2019 17:04:13 2179326 Link
Galway would rather play Mayo in the Connacht Final. Ros are harder to bate. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1196 - 17/04/2019 19:29:47 2179347 Link
Replying To maroondiesel: "Galway would rather play Mayo in the Connacht Final. Ros are harder to bate." I don't remember any "easy" wins for Galway over Mayo in the championship....Mayo demolished Galway a few times under Horan but bar that we have always found it hard to beat Galway...both counties have always had the ability to knock each other over when it appeared the other had the upper hand. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11229 - 17/04/2019 20:08:11 2179355 Link
Replying To maroondiesel: "Galway would rather play Mayo in the Connacht Final. Ros are harder to bate." There is truth in what you say. Ros seem to be able to raise their game against Galway and Mayo struggle to get past Galway of late. Losing to Galway is a habit we'd want to get out of fairly lively.

Rumours that Mc & CMort are back............ bronzed with blonde plaits............. must be the potential of a trip to Salthill that convinced them.
