Mayo Beat Kerry in Thriller to End 75 Year All Ireland Wait The drama at Croke Park was palpable as Mayo ended a 75 year wait for their fourth All Ireland Senior Football title by dispatching Kerry in a thrilling encounter.
For the Westerners' long suffering fans, this victory must have felt like an eternity in the making – and it's hard not to see why. Mayo's triumph is a story of perseverance and grit.
The county has endured 13 final defeats since their last championship win in 1951, including two replays, which had to be overcome by Mayo's players and management drawing on every ounce of determination to break through the psychological barrier that had held them back for so long.
