Mayo has 'grown accustomed to heartbreak' - native’s reaction to Gaelic football All Ireland final day

Mayo natives around the globe were quietly confident this year but they’ll be ready next time

Truth be told, the Mayo-Donegal pairing roused a greater sense of endearment from the general public than say a Dublin-Kerry final and it added to the emotion and excitement of the day. In the end it transpired to be a truly epic contest between two genuine football crazy counties. They will be partying hard up the hills of Donegal for the next year and more power to them, they deserve it as much as any. Us Mayo folk will carry on regardless and hope the heartbreak subsides in time for next year’s journey.

To win just once, would definitely be enough.
