Cora Staunton has likened to a "witch hunt" the Mayo County Board's actions against her club. The County Board have appealed against Carnacon's reinstatement to the League and Championship. They had expelled the All-Ireland champions after eight of their members walked away from the Mayo Senior panel citing "player welfare issues", and legendary forward Staunton was among those. She said: "We were really surprised and disappointed at their stance, we just feel it's nearly a witch-hunt on the club. "We're being penalised for making a choice, for stepping away from a county panel, and the whole club have been punished, their senior team has been punished.
