Johnno struggling to 'Keep The Faith' in Connacht championship

Declan Bogue IT’S EARLY IN the week and John O’Mahony is kicking back in his residence, the famous Tower House in Ballaghadereen, wondering about the weekend.

All in, O’Mahony’s personal haul is eight Connact titles. 1988 and ’89 in the ‘Keep The Faith Johnno’ Mayo years. 1994 with Leitrim, before switching to Galway and hungrily compiling Nestor Cups in 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2003.Flip to Chapter 1 and page 1 of his autobiography; ‘Keeping The Faith.’ He describes how he grew up in Magheraboy, Kilmovee, Co Mayo.

“It’s such a slow-burner now compared to what it was in the past, that the era of these closer rivalries is coming to a close. That’s what it looks like now to be honest.” Such was the scrum, that he vacated the park at half-time and entered a nearby hotel to watch the second half.‘What a day out. That’s all gone now. Win on Sunday, lose on Sunday, they’re both out again in a fortnight in another game that kinda matters but kinda doesn’t either.

In conversation with Rob Finnerty, he learned that the Galway forward and son of his former Mayo player Anthony ‘Larry’, hadn’t a break from football for the previous three years.
