Louth braced for Mayo test as Harte’s men take another major step on learning curve via IrishTimesSport
For Peter Fitzpatrick, the former Louth player, manager and now county chair, the round-robin experience has already stood to them, even if they do come out of it with nothing.
“Last week we played Cork, were disappointed we did not get a result there; that game could have gone either way. But I still think that was another step in the right direction, as was making a Leinster final. If you told me three years ago, that we’d be playing Dublin, Mayo and Kerry, all in the one summer, I’d say you were dreaming.
“We know going up to Castlebar on Sunday, no one is giving us a chance,” says Fitzpatrick, “and we know Mayo and Kerry are two of the top teams in the country right now. But we need to test ourselves against this standard, and it’s not a cliche to say we’re going up there with our own expectations. Cork were pressed by Louth all the way in the first round, holding on 1-19 to 1-17, that game played at Páirc Tailteann in Navan, given Louth doesn’t have a home ground of intercounty standard. Fitzpatrick is pressing hard to change that too.
