Good luck to our last remaining representative in this championship on Sunday: Dr. Hyde. In case Mayo lads are wondering why it always rains in Hyde Park (it doesn't of course), well that a good look at that lovely coast you have for what happens is that by "commodius vicus of recirculation" to quote Joyce (not Padraig), clouds rise and arrive over Hyde and in the words of McGahern then piss down on the Holy Catholics of Connacht.
Very much looking forward to this game. Was there in 2012 and thought Sligo should have won and AOS was the difference that day when he came on as a sub and did a Willie Joe type rousing catch and scored an even more rousing point. It will be interesting to see if the Mayo backs cope better with Sligo's diagonal balls that our farcical efforts and the pulling the full forward out to create space for the corners to create havoc. I must say while I am a big fan of Marren, he is fortunate to be playing given the unprovoked punch in the stomach to Cathal Shine while Cormac Reilly stood their watching but Cormac as we know doesn't see things that are and sees things that aren't.
Will be a major surprise if Mayo don't win. But both teams are only playing their second game. Could be some serious cobwebs on display and I don't mean the seats in the stand.
