'No comment' over Mayo GAA speculation

by Aiden Henry

Mayo GAA is declining to comment on reports that Ciaran McDonald is leaving his position as a member the county's senior football squad's management team.

A report in a national newspaper today claimed the former All-Star had departed the backroom team.

When contacted by The Connaught Telegraph in respect of the matter, the county board issued a 'no comment' response.

But this statement has served to further fuelled speculation that the former All-Star may have reached a decision in the aftermath of last Saturday's All-Ireland SFC final defeat to Tyrone.

The loss of the Crossmolina man to the county's management set-up would represent a major setback.

The Connaught Telegraph made contact with McDonald in relation to the speculation and he, too, opted not to comment.
