Bit of a pain this, we face the same three teams that we have for the last three years, could they not mix it up a bit?

And if Mayo are in it am I right in saying that it will definitely be played in Castlebar?
Leitrim to play in New York. Heard they nearly drank the place dry when they were there last.
Yeah Mayo are due home fixtures in all matches except if they meet Leitrim or Sligo in a Connacht Final it will have to be played at a neutral venue.
In other words there will be no excuses next year. Nestor Cup minimum acceptable expectation.
