Sam Callinan says Mayo’s young blood are embracing the challenge of climbing to the summit once more.
Drafted into the panel as an 18-year-old by James Horan, he winces as he recalls landing into his first training session 20 minutes late due to a car malfunction.
“I am on the investments team. The big thing we have been monitoring have been geo-political events that can affect the stock markets big time,” he says. “That would obviously boost their GDP. But if you look to bring in tariffs, that could lead to trade wars as well and have ramifications on the price of goods in America.”
Last year it was almost a full car with the also-departed Rory Brickenden taking a seat, but he doesn’t hold anything against the players who have decided upon a year out. When he reflects back on 2024, he sees much to be optimistic about. A one-point loss in the Connacht final to Galway, Mayo went into Pot 2 of the group stages. They beat Cavan by nine points before turning Roscommon over for the second time in six weeks.
“That day against Dublin, we were kicking wides and you can scrutinise them all day. Then you go a few games back and we lost by a kick of the ball to Galway in the Connacht final. A few tweaks there and a bit more clinical down the stretch and we would have avoided Dublin altogether. Who knows what happens then?
“It seems like a bit of a lottery, but sure look, we should have put them away and gave them a position to come back in and we lost.
