The 2017 Connacht Championship begins for Mayo this Sunday
The 2017 Connacht Championship begins for Mayo this Sunday against Sligo in MacHale Park. Sligo’s opening match of this years championship took place in Gaelic Park in the Bronx New York last Sunday week. The trip to the Bronx can be somewhat of a bannana skin, as Roscommon very nearly found out last year. Sligo however, seemed to have travelled very much prepared for New York. There was some speculation before this match that, should New York come out winners against Sligo, then Mayo would have to travel to New York. This however was never the case, as whoever won that match would have had to travel to MacHale park to play Mayo.
We are now well into the countdown to Sunday’s match against Sligo. The last time we met Sligo in the championship, was the 2015 Connacht final in Hyde Park. Willie Joe over on Mayo GAA Blog has all the stat’s on all our recent meetings with Sligo, well worth a look! Also, if you haven’t already done so, An Spailpín Fánach 2017 Mayo Championship preview is very much well worth a read! ( “So; another light-hearted and carefree Championship in store for the sweet county Mayo, the finest county in Ireland.” )
