Dessie Farrell praises cool heads of veterans as they snatch the draw.
“The draw gets us nowhere. We went for the win. I hope it looked to everybody that we were trying to win it and we gave it a great shot,” he said after the final round game that leaves Mayo looking at a preliminary quarter-final this coming weekend, played in Castlebar.
“They are a super team. To win a kick-out and somehow get the ball out of the scrum and they came up with a point. It’s just disappointing that we go into a prelim but this time it’s at home so there is a completely different vibe about it this year compared to last year.” Manging the week means managing Eoghan McLoughlin, who went off here with an injury after half an hour.
As for Dublin, manager Dessie Farrell was typically cool about the frantic nature of their late, late equaliser.
