Jim White in Cillian O'Connor pronunciation fail as Mayo New York gets Sky Sports treatment

A sign of the summer ahead.

HERE WE GO then, welcome to the world of Sky Sports reporting on GAA.

The 2014 football championship threw in on Sunday night with Mayo proving far too strong for New York in their Connacht opener.

And Sky Sports News started the ball rolling on their coverage with a report of the game. ‘Silian O’Connor’ was amongst the goalscorers according to Jim White who also had difficulties getting to grips with the word ‘Connacht’.

Here’s how Jim fared.

The title of the province was also a problem earlier for Rob Wotton. Pronouncing the word ‘centenary’ properly was also tricky for Wotton and he also announced at the end that Mayo would play Roscommon or ‘Lay-trim’ at the next round.

A sign of the summer ahead, folks.
