Mayo plotting the great escape

Roscommon 1-7 Mayo 1-11: Mayo played this crucial Division 1 game with a swagger that you usual see from them in the Connacht championship, and against familiar opposition, there was a familiar result.

You might think that a team that shoots 10 wides before half-time has little to be confident about, but such was their dominance, they never looked in danger of losing to a Roscommon side that already had four wins to their name this season.

This win means there is still hope for Stephen Rochford’s side in their quest to avoid the drop. They need to beat an already-relegated Down side at MacHale Park, while they’ll also hope that Donegal can beat Monaghan.
