Horan happy as Mayo show steely side

For a team accused of having a soft centre, a six-point win over Armagh in the Athletic Grounds has to go down as a good night.

Mayo effectively had to win this Allianz FL Division 1 tie three times as Armagh pegged them back twice but James Horan preferred to dwell on the final flourish when his team halted a five-point scoring spree from Armagh to reel off the last three scores.

“We had a few scares there in the middle of the second-half when we fell asleep a little bit but in fairness to Armagh, they kept plodding away and stayed in the game,” he said.
