IT’S BEEN A tough time for Andy Moran since tearing his cruciate ligament last August.
That injury suffered against Down in the All-Ireland quarter-final saw the Mayo attacker have to watch from the sidelines as Mayo reached, and ultimately lost, the All-Ireland final.
But the 2012 season is over and the 2013 championship began today in a better fashion for Moran and Mayo.
Mayo crushed Galway by 19 points in their Connacht championship opener and Moran was sprung from the bench in the finale. He marked his return in style too by firing home the fourth goal of the game.
And he was pretty happy with that judging by these pictures.

Such a way to come back! Delighted for him. Can only imagine the hard work he has put in to get back!
