Hello folks, just found this forum, obviously new here since the draw. Tough draw for us, we were hoping to avoid yerselves and Tyrone. Yer boys seem to be motoring well with O’Neill and Clarke on form. Can’t call this one, as our recent record at home is poor. Other towns to consider if yer staying over are Claremorris and Ballinrobe, both only a 20 min drive from Castlebar, should be plenty of accomodation available in them towns.

I think the prevailing attitude here is disappointment that we have been drawn with a major obstacle such as yourselves after just overcoming another in the shape of Monaghan. However, and as others have said, Mayo are likely to allow Armagh to play so we're hoping our forwards can get plenty of scores. Our defence though will be up against it. For my own part, I think we're in with a shout even if we are deservedly second favourites in this two horse race.

Lol, had to pick a club to sign up!. Can’t disagree with what you said there, think yer in with a great chance. Ye boys have good pace and the height of Rian O’ Neill will cause us major problems. Our trouble is the lack of a proper defensive set up, Down cut us apart in the first half, but we closed them off a bit better in second half. I feel this could well be a shoot out, could be 2 or 3 goals scored per team. I feel had Mayo/Armagh/Tyrone avoided each other in this draw, we’d all go through. The big winners here are the losing provincial finalists..

What's the story with cillian O'Connor? I think he is integral to mayo's form and I'm assuming he isn't available for Saturday? Ruane and Seamus O'Shea also big voids if not available.

It promises to be a fantastic game. With mayo's defense, burns and Aidan o'se in midfield and the Armagh forward line, perhaps we could worry the dubs!
