Mayo were made to work hard for victory over Leitrim in their opening game of the Electric Ireland Connacht Minor Football Championship yesterday (Friday) evening in Carrick-on-Shannon, winning 1-17 to 2-11.

As the curtain falls on another league campaign, definite progress has been made by Mayo and plenty of players have come forward and made themselves meaningful options, writes Edwin McGreal.

The Mayo U17 footballers begin their Connacht campaign against Leitrim this evening in Carrick on Shannon. Having received a Bye in Round 1, manager Diarmuid Byrne and his panel begin their championship journey tonight.

Mayo’s one year stint in Division 2 of the National Hurling League has ended without the Green and Red recording a victory, as Westmeath ran out emphatic 26 points winners in Saturday’s Round 7 clash at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, Castlebar.

The most surprising statistic to emerge from Tralee was not Kerry’s 16-point winning margin, nor was it Mayo’s atrocious scoring rate that saw them convert just once from play in a 46-minute period either side of half-time.

Trying to run a form line through league games is always fraught with peril. When the top counties set out their stall for the year in team meetings, the league barely gets a passing mention. So the importance they place on it can vary wildly.

The National Football League and the Six Nations Championship are kindred spirits. Huge scoring and wild swings in form and fortune are hallmarks of each. Every team in both competitions has experienced highs and lows this campaign.

Over the past few weeks Mayo has become somewhat of a Rorschach test.

The secret’s out. The nation, the world now knows what we’ve known for a while about the ridiculous, prodigious talent we have on our hands.

There are three rounds left in Division 2, nine points still on the table, but for Mayo, the promotion race may well come down to one afternoon. Sunday’s clash with Donegal isn’t just another league fixture.
