The Curse of County Mayo- a Documentary from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ World Service on the GAA Social. Something a bit different this week

From the brand 'Amazing Sports stories' a unique way of digging into the Curse of Mayo

Is County Mayo’s Gaelic football team cursed? You might have heard of the β€œCurse of Bambino” for the Boston Red Sox in US baseball. This is the story of Ireland’s equivalent. Irish-American sports reporter Dave McKenna investigates this curious case to find out if a decades old hex is behind their recent failures. Did the team really disrespect a funeral in 1951? And did that cause the mysterious bad luck that’s plagued the team ever since? Episode 1 of 3.
