Aidan O’Shea better get to a telly soon after his All-Ireland semi-final admission

Lee Costello

“It’s not something that I’ve even thought about.”

Mayo captain Aidan O’Shea has helped his team secure their spot in the All-Ireland semi-final.

They will play either Dublin or Kildare, but the midfielder isn’t too interested on who the opposition is, keeping his focus solely on Mayo, and their own performances.

Speaking during a press event for PAIR Mobile, the repairs group ran by an Irish family that quickly fixed his broken phone, right at the height of the pandemic when connection to his friends and family was so important – the Breaffy man was asked what he thought about Mayo’s potential opponents.

“It’s not something that I’ve even thought about, I haven’t even watched Dublin or Kildare up to this point, so if I get a chance this weekend, I’ll sit back and watch the game and see who comes through.

When were right in the peak of the longest lockdown, I broke my phone during a sea swim at my local beach and I very quickly realised how lost I was without it! It was the only thing keeping me connected to my friends and family throughout that time, who I missed so much”. I knew to go straight to PAIR Mobile, as they are Ireland’s most trustworthy repairs group. An Irish, family run company, they only use the best possible device parts anyone can source and have the strictest global repair standards with all of their repair jobs, whether it is your phone, your laptop or your tablet.

“It’s not really something that we’re too concerned whether we play these teams, I think we’re in a good place, we’re where we want to be, we’ve progressed significantly from last year.

“The group has been expanded again, due to injuries, Covid, so lads got opportunities, and I think if we can just keep improving.

“We have seen flashes of what we can do, and whoever we play in the semi-final, if we can extend that period for longer, then we are going to be in with a great chance.
