Mayo defender Lee Keegan is adamant that the current squad is unique in their own way.

Following their latest All-Ireland SFC semi-final defeat, many have claimed that it is the same old Mayo, but Keegan stressed to the Western People that the current crop of players have a different mentality.

"People are sick of saying same old Mayo, but it's not really same old Mayo because this group is a unique kind of group. We are challenging these teams year-in, year out and we are still producing big days in Croke Park," said Keegan.

"I think that it is very to say this is typical Mayo, losing a game that they could have won. Dublin were just better than us on the day and that's the reality. Some people have to accept that. I've accepted it nearly.

"At the end of the day, we have to look to next year again and see what we can do better as a team and as a management - everything. It's just a per cent, we need to get that one per cent and drive home, because this group is good enough to win it.

"I do firmly believe that if we come back year-in, year-out and give us as much as we can to the cause to win Sam. It's been too long and at the end of the day we just have to really strive for more success."
