THE HIGH

POINT

The obvious high point of Mayo’s 2019
so far was winning the Allianz League

• a welcome salve to the many wounds
  they’ve received at Headquarters. In
  terms of championship, they have had
  less to hang their hats on. Nonetheless,
  there was something encouraging about
  the way they beat Down in Newry – a
  sure sign that the famous heart still
  beats.

THE

LOW POINT

Entertaining Roscommon at Elverys

MacHale Park in the Connacht

semi-final, as league champions,

could only have prompted one

credible script beforehand.

Roscommon evidently didn’t

read it. It was 33 years since the

Rossies had beaten Mayo there

in the championship. As ways of

bursting bubbles go, this was about

as brutal as it gets for Mayo.

CONNACHT QUARTER-FINAL:

MAYO 1-22 NEW YORK 0-4

CONNACHT SEMI-FINAL:

ROSCOMMON 2-12 MAYO 0-17

QUALIFIER ROUND 2:

MAYO 1-16 DOWN 1-11
