Tricky championship draw for Andy Moran's Mayo

New Mayo manager Andy Moran has been handed a tough 2026 Connacht championship campaign following the four Gaelic football provincial draws were made tonight live on RTÉ 2.

While it was known before the draw took place that Mayo would have a quarterfinal outing against London, the hope was that if beat London they would avoid the other two big guns, Galway and Roscommon in the semi-final.

But that hope was dashed when they were drawn to play the winners of the quarterfinal game between New York/Roscommon in the penultimate round.

So, it looks like Mayo will have to beat both Roscommon and Galway if they are to claim the Nestor Cup in 2026

The full Connacht SFC draw:

Quarterfinals – Mayo v London, Roscommon v New York and Sligo v Leitrim. Galway received a bye in the quarterfinals.

Semi-finals – Mayo/London v Roscommon/New York; Galway v Sligo/Leitrim.
