Mayo's Donal Vaughan says it's up to opposition teams to find ways of breaking down blanket defences.

Tyrone did a good job of smothering the Connacht champions in their last league outing and Vaughan believes the challenge set down in that match is all part of the game:

"I enjoy a challenge," the 26-year-old comments in The Mayo News. "If we play Tyrone later on in the year, or a game like that again, and you win it, there's great satisfaction.

"You're basically trying to move the ball quickly, if you get a chance counter-attack quickly, changing the point of the attack, offer yourself as a support runner. You're trying to do the right thing with the ball.

"There's different styles. A good manager will pick a style that suits his team, not a style of football that he likes playing. If you can match both, you're onto a winner.

"Nobody enjoys a game when you're playing it. Maybe if you're fifteen points up, maybe, but even if you're six or seven points up there's a fear that the other team could come back."
