Kerry and Mayo have both reached Round 5 of this year's National League campaign unbeaten, with the Kingdom currently edging top spot in the Division One table on points difference

With four rounds of National League matches already played, there's a break in the action this coming weekend ahead of Mayo's next assignment, a tough trip to Tralee to face Kerry.

Saturday evening's five-point win over Dublin wasn't just Mayo's second win in a row over Dessie Farrell's side, it was also the first time in over fifty years that Mayo had beaten Dublin in a League game played in the capital

All roads lead to Croke Park on Saturday night and in this episode of the Mayo News Football Podcast we preview the latest meeting of Dublin and Mayo

The inter-county season began with a bang last weekend, with three of the four Round 1 games in Division One finishing level. There's little time to draw breath either, with the second round of matches on this weekend.

A number of players have worn the Mayo jersey with great distinction over the past decade. One of these epitomised the county's new never-say-die attitude in the years since 2011 more than most and it's no coincidence that four-time All-Star Colm Boyle became such a fans' favourite during this time.

The New Year has already seen football action at both inter-county and club levels, with Mayo edged out by Galway in the FBD League in the novel surroundings of the Air Dome at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence, while Kilmeena and Knockmore experienced contrasting fortunes in their respective Connacht football finals

As we count down the final hours of 2021, there's still time for one last Mayo News football podcast episode of the year.

With a long and distinguished playing career at inter-county level - capped by two All-Stars and the Footballer of the Year award in 2017 - Andy Moran was one of Mayo's top performers in an era when the county challenged seriously for national honours year after year.
