Moran at sharp edge of spiteful Mayo-Roscommon rivalry

By Conor NevilleRTE

Viewed through the national lens, the Galway-Mayo rivalry may have the higher profile and be more synonymous with Connacht football generally but few can match Mayo-Roscommon in terms of bitterness, writes Conor Neville.

Mayo v Roscommon. It is, on the quiet, one of the more spiteful rivalries in Gaelic football. The rivalry has given us territorial disputes - Ballaghaderreen is Ireland's equivalent of the Donbass.
