Shane Curran maintains his own county of Roscommon wouldn't have done any better than Sligo had they faced Mayo in last Sunday's Connacht SFC final.

Sligo upset the much-hyped Rossies in the semi-final, only to crash to a humiliating 26-point defeat at the hands of the five-in-a-row champions.

"The Connacht final was nothing more than a shambles," the former Roscommon 'keeper wrote in the Westmeath Independent this week.

"It's a real pity that Connacht has got to the point where nobody can give Mayo a proper game. But Mayo deserve great respect and I don't think they get enough credit for how good they are. And no, I don't think Roscommon would have given Mayo a much better game, had the Rossies beaten Sligo in the semi-finals.

"I think Mayo would have dished out a similar hiding to Roscommon as the Rossies are about five years behind them in terms of their development. It will be a long time before anybody can touch Mayo in the Connacht championship."
