Rossies storm to Connacht final

A commanding second-half performance from Roscommon put pre-match favourites Mayo to the sword under lights at Kiltoom on Wednesday night.

Mayo, who came into the game buoyed by their impressive extra-time win over All-Ireland champions Galway, were 0-8 to 0-7 ahead at the interval, mainly due to Conor O’Shea’s prosperity in the full-forward line.

But the home time totally dominated the second half, helped by a few shrewd substitutions from manager Nigel Dineen.
