MAYO seem to be the one that got away from Armagh in recent years, but Kieran McGeeney’s men have a great opportunity to get a win on the board this weekend.
The Orchardmen last came out on top against the Westerners in 2011, when Steven McDonnell scored six points in MacHale Park.
The last time these two teams came across each other was in 2023, with Rian O’Neill coming up clutch in the last minute with a free to level the scores and salvage a point and before this meeting, it was three wins in a row for Mayo.
