Taoiseach’s treat as Mayo turn on style

As opening statements go this was as impressive as it could get from Mayo as they cruised into yet another Connacht SFC final at their leisure in Castlebar yesterday.

The defending champions had spent the last eight weeks kicking their heels and Leitrim happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as Mayo took their frustration out on their outclassed guests.

On a day when the sun shone brightly and Elverys MacHale Park was officially opened by An Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Mayo made hay and treated their supporters in the crowd of 14,398 to an exhibition.
