Mayo’s stroll in the park

New York 0-08 Mayo 4-18

Unbackable favourites with the bookies, anything other than a heavy win for the side defeated in the last two All-Ireland finals would have been a surprise and everything went according to the expected script for James Horan’s men.

The tone was set as early as the first 30 seconds, when Donal Vaughan kicked the opening score, and for the remainder of the first half they had things at their ease.
