Mayo do it the hard way again

Mayo 1-15 Dublin 1-14: These Mayo lads have an awful tendency to make life as hard as possible on themselves.

Rewind two weeks to the Connacht U21 final; Mayo were forced to spend most of the afternoon chasing their tails after conceding 1-3 in the opening eight minutes.

Fifty-seven minutes had elapsed before Roscommon were reeled in, a Liam Irwin goal completing Mayo’s comeback effort.
