Mighty Mayo pulverise dismal Dubs

The sight of Mayo supporters lining up to take photographs of the scoreboard at the end of this remarkable league match last Saturday evening told its own story.

They had just watched their team produce an incredibly complete performance to trounce the All-Ireland champions by 12 points and propel themselves back into frame for a place in the Division 1 semi-finals.

Defeat here would have consigned Mayo to a scrap for survival in the final round; now they go to Kerry next Sunday knowing victory will guarantee them a slot in the play-offs.
