History-makers Mayo move relentlessly on

Mayo 3-14 Galway 0-16

Yesterday, as they stretched their 100% run in Connacht under James Horan to 11 victories, they were slightly more subdued against their great rivals if almost as clinical. This was simply about taking care of business. Whatever about this provincial competition serving them better, the same could be said for how they treat themselves now.

Their performance was an extremely mature one and possibly points to Mayo developing an ability to put victories in context now. On home soil as a fine 26,738 crowd watched on, they created a little history, but they clearly want more.
