O’Hora to the rescue as Mayo refuse to give up their crown

FOR a few moments before the end, it wasn’t looking too good for Mayo. Dublin had taken a slender lead with the seconds ebbing away.

Finbarr Egan felt his team needed something, but after five years coaching this team, he was not about to panic.

Then, right on cue, Diana O’Hora latched onto a free from Cora Staunton’s free to slam the ball to the net for the game’s decisive score. Egan seemed to be the only one in Croke Park who expected such a miracle.
