Mayo see off Leitrim to book senior survival
McHale took on the Mayo job in late 2023, but this season proved difficult, with the county suffering relegation in the National League and failing to progress in championship after a crucial defeat by Cork.
However, the season ended positively with the 2-14 to 0-13 win over Leitrim.
The Mayo statement read: "Any year in the top flight of LGFA is challenging. This has been a season of huge transition for Mayo Ladies Football. Mayo LGFA faced unprecedented squad changes with significant player departures. We have seen great young talent emerging and we are immensely proud of the young players who stepped up, made their debuts, and showed tremendous character throughout the campaign. Captain Danielle Caldwell deserves special mention for her leadership during a challenging period of considerable change.
"The commitment required at senior inter-county level is immense - not just from players, managers, coaches, and the extended managerial team, but from their families too. We are grateful to Liam and his entire backroom team for their dedication to Mayo Ladies Football.
"As Mayo LGFA looks to the future, the retention of Senior status provides a strong foundation for continued development. The experience gained by younger players this season, combined with the emergence of new talent, positions the county well for the years ahead. We give our heartfelt thanks to all Mayo supporters for their loyalty during a difficult season and look forward to building on today's success together.
"Mayo LGFA extends its sincere gratitude to Liam McHale for his service to LGFA over the past two years, his lifetime of service to the County Mayo, and we wish him every success in his future endeavours."
