Late flurry of points gives hosts two-point victory at MacHale Park
Fresh from their comeback draw against Armagh, this was another rollercoaster Mayo display, except this time they did the opposite to what occurred against the All-Ireland champions last weekend. Mayo led rather than trailed by nine points in the first-half only to fall two points behind entering the final 10 minutes.
Uncharacteristically, David Clifford had missed a two-point opportunity from a 67th-minute free that would have pushed the Kingdom one point in front. In the chaotic finish that ensued it was Mayo who applied all the pressure to seal the win – with points by Ryan O’Donoghue, who finished with nine, and Matthew Ruane, contributing three from midfield for the second week running.
