Tom Lydon and Thomas Tuffy scored second half goals for Mayo at Tuam Stadium
Mayo captain Rio Mortimer, son of former All Star Kenneth, went forward to shoot an excellent point and his half-back partner Fionan O’Reilly also landed a point in response to a snapped effort from Galway midfielder Olan Kelly to lead by the minimum at the interval.
The sides twice exchanged points in the opening five minutes of the second-half but then Mayo struck a telling blow when Tom Lydon blasted home a penalty after 41 minutes after sub Gavin Forry was fouled. Another Mayo sub Thomas Tuffy slotted home a fine goal into the bottom left corner to give his team a 2-10 to 0-10 lead going into the final quarter.
Galway sub Fionán Ó Conghaile, just seconds on the field, fired home a goal 12 minutes from time after collecting a pass from another sub Stephen O’Grady to cut the gap to 2-10 to 1-10 but two more points from Lydon and one from man-of-the-match Darragh Beirne wrapped up a deserved win for Mayo.C Meaney; J Lavelle, E McGreal, Y Coghill; J Clarke, R Mortimer , F O’Reilly ; T Egan , S Cunningham; C Lynch, T Lydon , D Neary; D Beirne , J Carey, S Guilfoyle .
