S5Ep6: Dublin vs Mayo: Inside GAA’s Greatest Rivalry with Philly McMahon & Keith Higgins

Under Construction with Chadwicks

In this episode of Under Construction with Chadwicks, host Donncha O’Callaghan is joined by two legends of Gaelic games Dublin’s Philly McMahon and Mayo’s Keith Higgins —to discuss one of the game’s biggest rivalries Dublin vs Mayo.

From All-Ireland clashes to club battles, we’re diving deep into the rivalries that have shaped the GAA. Philly and Keith know what it means to compete at the highest level—and how it feels to go head-to-head when everything’s on the line.

Philly opens up about Dublin’s historic dominance, the pressure of sustaining success, and what it meant to clash with the likes of Mayo and Kerry year after year. Keith reflects on his unique journey as a dual star for Mayo in both football and hurling, and the heartbreak and pride that came with those epic encounters at Croke Park.

Together, they discuss the culture, passion, and psychology behind great GAA rivalries—how they bring out the best (and sometimes the worst) in players, fans, and entire counties.

🏐 Whether you’re from the Hill, the West, or anywhere in between, this episode is a must-listen for every GAA fan.
