Celebrations continue well into Tuesday as Mayo ended 75 years of hurt with their All-Ireland win on Sunday.

After 11 straight final defeats, Mayo finally came out on top against the much-fancied Kerry team to get it over the line.

There were massive celebrations across the country as the Mayo diaspora came out in droves to celebrate the huge achievement of finally winning the Sam Maguire Cup for the first time since 1951.

One of the Mayo heroes on display on Sunday was Jordan Flynn. The Crossmolina forward notched over a crucial point during Mayo’s barn-storming second-half display at Croke Park. Now with the dust beginning to somewhat settle on the huge achievement, Flynn has another big day to plan for, his wedding!

Flynn will marry his long-time partner Jessie later this year in December, and now with the huge triumph, Flynn revealed they might need to invite one Sam Maguire.

‘We’ll have to bring the Sam Maguire,’ Flynn said jubilantly. ‘We haven’t invited anyone yet as we haven’t had time. It will be an open invitation now.

‘We touched on that a couple of times. Wouldn’t it be great to win an All-Ireland and get married? Now it is happening . . . unless she changes her mind between now and December!’

Sunday was an emotional day for many reasons for the Mayo squad, but for Flynn and his half-brother Kobe McDonald, there was a bittersweet element to it as he’s set to move to Melbourne in the coming weeks.

The 18-year-old has signed a deal with St Kilda’s in the AFL last year on the condition he’d get to finish his Leaving Cert and get a chance to play one season of senior football. Now with his exams finished and bowing out of senior football as spectacularly as he burst into it, McDonald makes the big move Down Under.

For Flynn, he explained the emotional moment the pair shared on the Croke Park field celebrating their monumental victory.

‘We were just saying, “It’s kind of over now, it’s done.” He’ll go in whatever amount of days and take on a new chapter in his life. You think about it and you talk about what you could do and what it would be, but to actually do it then and kind of get to embrace it is a different story.

‘There was a lot of sob talk to be honest. Obviously, you don’t know what’s down the tracks now. You don’t know how long the other fella will be gone for.

‘He could go for two years, five years, ten years, whatever. We might not get to grace the pitch together again for Mayo, so it kind of was a bit of a last dance thing. So yeah, it was nice to just kind of send him off that way.’

Tens of thousands of Mayo supporters showed up to McHale Park on Monday night to welcome back their All-Ireland winning heroes. There were some of the most spectacular celebrations for an All-Ireland win in a long time.

Mayo’s win has truly captured the world, with reactions to them ending the curse coming from political figures like Joe Biden to music icons like Oasis.
