Mayo GAA manager recovering in hospital after falling ill during training

Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery.

Mayo football manager, Kevin McStay, is currently in hospital after he became ill during a training session.

According to the Irish Examiner, McStay suffered a medical issue at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park during a training session as the team prepared for next Saturday's second round All-Ireland Championship clash with Tyrone in Omagh.

The Mayo county board are yet to issue a statement regarding his health.

McStay has led Mayo to two finals this year in both Division 1 and Connacht.

They were beaten in both by Kerry and Galway respectively.

Mayo's opening game of the All-Ireland Championship saw them suffer a shock three-point defeat to Cavan.

Following next Saturday's match against Tyrone, they will face Donegal at a neutral venue on June 14 or 15.

Tyrone joint-manager Feargal Logan suffered a stroke last year, just hours before they were due to face Derry.

Similarly, legendary Kilkenny hurling manager Brian Cody stepped away from his duties for a period after undergoing heart surgery in 2013.

Eleven years prior to Cody's incident,  Tommy Lyons stood down as Dublin manager for their drawn All-Ireland quarter-final against Donegal due to ill health but returned for the replay.
