Mayo spring another surprise

THEIR history with Kerry is largely framed by championship meltdowns, but when it comes to league jousts, Mayo are fast becoming the experts.

They departed Tralee yesterday afternoon with their fourth spring victory in five years over the Kingdom and the eventual two-point winning margin concealed their true superiority in this NFL Division 1 clash.

Kerry blasted 1-1 in injury-time to trim Mayo’s lead but the narrative of the second half revolved around the Connacht team’s dominance.
