John O’Mahony expressed his delight with the faith shown in himself and his management team by the county board following the extension of their term to 2011, to the Mayo Advertiser this week. After two unsuccessful years since he took on the job, O’Mahony is looking forward to the third year of his rein and pushing the county on to bigger and better things on the field. “It’s a great honour for me to be asked to stay on for three more years by the county board, it was something that was put forward by one of the delegates at a previous board meeting and when the executive of the county board asked me I was only too happy to do my bit for the county. It shows that the people in the county have faith and belief in what we are trying to do and that we are going about it the right way to build for the future.”
