Mayo Team

Current Odds are Mayo evens Galway 6/5 with a draw 13/2

Galway’s Allianz Football League campaign will kick off with a strong lineup that includes 11 players who played in last year’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final.

Despite the absence of Footballer of the Year nominee Shane Walsh and defender Liam Silke, the team is poised for a strong performance against Mayo in their Division 1 opener.

Head coach Pádraic Joyce will be without Walsh, who is still recovering from a lengthy club season with Kilmacud Crokes, and defender Kieran Molloy, who has a long-term cruciate injury.

Patrick Kelly will also miss the game due to personal reasons. The team will still feature three Kelly siblings, with captain Seán Kelly at fullback and Eoghan Kelly at midfield.

However, the team will still feature three Kelly siblings, with captain Seán Kelly at full-back, Eoghan Kelly making his NFL debut at corner-back and Paul Kelly at wing-forward. Other notable inclusions include Salthill-Knocknacarra’s Daniel O’Flaherty, who will also be making his league debut at wing-back, and Dessie Conneely and Peter Cooke who recently led Moycullen to a Connacht conquest. With Bernard Power of Corofin returning as a substitute goalkeeper, the team is poised for a strong start to their league campaign. Expectations are high as they look to maintain their Division One status while also aim to make it to the All-Ireland final again.

Kieran Molloy of Corofin, who is recovering from a knee injury, Finnian O Laoi of An Spideal, who has relocated to Australia, and All Star corner-back Liam Silke, who has been working as a doctor in New Zealand, will be unable to play.

“It looks like Liam Silke is going to be (staying) in New Zealand for the year, so we won’t be having him, which is a big loss to us,” Tribe boss Padraic Joyce is widely reported to say

Mayo lost a few players, but I believe Liam Silke and Kieran Molloy are a bigger loss for us.

I don’t think people realise how important Molloy was to us last year.

He can play anywhere and is a huge loss for us.

To be fair to Kieran, he is working extremely hard.

Knowing him, he’ll probably defy logic and return sooner than expected.”

In addition, two more players who participated in the loss to Kerry last year have been added.

Cillian McDaid, All Star midfielder, and reigning Young Footballer of the Year Jack Glynn are also doubts for the game.

McDaid’s fitness is rated as ’50-50,’ while Glynn has been dealing with a groyne issue that has kept him out of Sigerson Cup action with UL.

Mayo will be without Lee Keegan and AFL player Oisin Mullin as Kevin McStay takes charge for the first time in the league.

Both teams will face difficulties, but it promises to be an exciting match to begin the league season.
