Conor Mortimer doesn't think there is any chance of him playing for Mayo again.

The Shrule-Glencorrib clubman is the veteran of many great Mayo-Galway battles but - as the big two in Connacht prepare for their latest meeting at Salthill this weekend - he admits that he's unlikely to don the Green & Red jersey again:

"I have no regrets about the way last year panned out," he comments in The Irish Independent. "I missed out on playing in another All-Ireland final alright, but you have to get on with things and forget about it.

"There is no point in crying about it at this stage; it is old news. All you can do is live your life whatever way things fall.

"It was very simple - the manager didn't fancy me, so I wasn't willing to hang around for that. But it is no big thing, it happens in every walk of life and in every sport. It is time to forget about it.

"I don't think there is any chance I'll play for Mayo again. I am still playing ball and not playing too badly, but James [Horan] has his 30 or so lads there that he wants to look at.

"You always think you might have something to offer, but once you get older you lose a bit of pace and your chance is gone. It's not something I'm too worried about." Tweet
