PAUL Durcan and Mayo will be aiming to clinch the Sam Maguire Cup this Sunday afternoon when they meet Kerry in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.
Mayo booked their spot in the competition’s showpiece courtesy of a convincing victory over Louth at GAA Headquarters two weeks ago.
Donegal Town native Durcan joined the Mayo backroom team at the start of the year, acting as the goalkeeping coach for the county.
The former Donegal netminder was previously involved with the Sligo management team but was coaxed into the Mayo set-up by Andy Moran this term.
They will now face reigning All-Ireland champions Kerry in the capital, with the Kingdom sealing their place in the final with a win over Dublin.
This will be the fourth All-Ireland Final meeting between the pair, with Kerry coming out on top in their previous encounters in 1997, 2004 and 2006.
The Connacht outfit will be aiming to lift the Sam Maguire Cup for the first time since 1951 when they make the trip to GAA Headquarters this Sunday.
Meanwhile, Jack O’Connor’s side will be hoping to win their second successive All-Ireland crown and their 40th title in total.
