There is plenty to be excited about in Mayo Ladies football circles as the 2021 season approaches and one of the county’s longest serving players, Kathryn Sullivan, says she is determined to help her team reach the next level.
A new manager in Michael Moyles, the return of some former players and the arrival of eager, fresh talent means Mayo turn towards the new season with vigour.
While their 2020 championship ended at the group stages, 2019’s All-Ireland semi-final appearance suggests there is a talented group of players in the county. Add in some experienced faces like Carnacon’s Fiona McHale and some of her clubmates, and Sullivan (30) thinks the team can make significant progress.

Mayo forward Diarmuid O’Connor believes the defending Connacht champions have the depth of talent in the squad to thrive, despite the retirement of some of their most experienced players in the off-season.
O’Connor was part of the Mayo team that fell to Dublin in December’s All-Ireland senior final at Croke Park, his third All-Ireland final defeat in a seven-year inter-county career, but after putting that setback behind him, the Ballintubber man hopes to improve again in 2021.
A significant amount of talent and experience left in January when Keith Higgins, Chris Barrett, Seamie O’Shea, Donal Vaughan, Tom Parsons and David Clarke called an end to their time in the green and red shirt, but O’Connor thinks the Mayo panel has the ability to evolve.
