It very like the longest wait ever but our lads got the win against a very tough and physical Tyrone side.

Going into the game, I can’t lie I wasn’t expecting us on the victorious side but so proud of the lads after a tough game.

Still getting use to the new rules I was praying our lads would see more of the orange flag because we now realise how crucial they are in any game going forward.

The first half even though it was poor from both sides I felt an improvement in our play compared to the Galway game.

One thing I would like to credit all the new lads coming into the ranks, showing they are well able to line out on the pitch with the veterans.

The difference in crowd support was on show clearly as the Mayo roar overpowered the near silence of Tyrone fans.

Multiple goal opportunities from Mayo were denied by the legendary Niall Morgan but I felt like I was watching such a different Mayo team compared to the Galway game.

As we are still waiting on some return, the win today was a well needed boost for our lads and it’s optimistic positive thoughts going into our game next weekend against All Ireland Champions Armagh.

Wishing the best of luck to our lads next week 💚❤️
