If I’m honest, I haven’t missed inter-county football as much as I thought I would. This week has been different, however.
Mayo-Galway is the rivalry that I grew up on, with my club, Davitt’s, being perched just on the right side of the border that the counties share.
Throw in the fact that my mother hails from Cortoon, a football-mad village just outside Tuam, and there was an added edge to the rivalry given the banter with cousins when growing up.
