A DEVASTATED LEE Keegan has promised Mayo fans that this team will fight on despite their latest All-Ireland heartbreak.
“Sadness and regret fill me,” wrote Keegan, who was today nominated for another All-Star as well as Footballer of the Year alongside Dublin duo Brian Fenton and Ciaran Kilkenny.
“We have lost but I have the honour and privilege of running into battle with legends that I will respect for life.”
Saturday’s one-point loss to Dublin was Mayo’s eighth defeat in the final since they last lifted Sam Maguire in 1951.
“Dublin GAA are a supreme outfit and deservedly All-Ireland winners,” Keegan added.
“The customary tweet or message is to say we will fight on and we will but it will be a tough couple of months soul searching.
“As ever, supporters made [our] year by always doing what you do best. Thanks for following and supporting us through everything.”
