Kevin McStay’s side had five points to spare at the Hyde.
Roscommon 0-13 Mayo 1-15 KEVIN MCSTAY’S MAYO had five points to spare over Roscommon on the final whistle as they set-up a Connacht final showdown with Galway in a fortnight’s time.
Ryan O’Donoghue kicked two of those with Aidan O’Shea and Tommy Conroy getting the other, while Cregg got one for Roscommon in that run. Mayo were in front by the bare minimum at the half time break with Aidan O’Shea’s goal after seven minutes the key score in the half. Murtagh then reel doff two points on the spin in the 15th and 16th minute, the first from a free and the second a fine effort from play that he arced just inside the far post. That was quickly followed by a pointed free from Daire Cregg to cut the gap back to a single point.
Mayo responded well with points from Fergal Boland and another O’Donoghue free to go two clear once again as the game entered injury time, but there was still time for Daire Cregg to get his second of the half to leave just one between the sides at the half-time whistle.
