Mayo GAA are mourning the loss of county chairperson Seamus Tuohy, whose death has been announced.

The Breaffy clubman took over as chair in 2021, this after his involvement in numerous administrative roles within the county, including as vice-chairman, chairperson of Bord na nÓg and chair of the CCC.

After a 75-year wait, Tuohy was at the helm as Mayo finally brought Sam Maguire back to the county on 26 July.
