Mayo are hot favourites in the first round of the championship, but manager Kevin McStay recalls the tough trip to New York in 2016.
While Mayo are hot favourites, their manager Kevin McStay knows just how tough a trip Stateside can be and has opened up on his narrow win with Roscommon over New York in 2016.
“Myself and Fergal and the county chairman would probably have had to resign before we got to JFK on Monday evening,” says McStay. “And then for John Prenty and his warriors, they hadn’t envisaged a defeat – so the qualifier competition, I don’t know the fine print of it but I remember him saying to me that there was no rule for Roscommon to be back in the competition.”Here's everything you need to know about today's big Championship game:What time is the game scheduled to begin at? 8pm.Can I live stream the game online?
