Mayo’s two late goals leave Cork in ruins

Mayo 5-7 Cork 1-14: An hour and a half after Stephen Coen lifted the Clarke Cup, he and his team-mates were back on the field to mingle with friends and family.

This had been emotional as it had been epic and exhilarating for these young Mayo men. Darragh Doherty, a team-mate for so many of them in the 2013 All-Ireland minor success tragically killed in a car crash last year, was at the forefront of their minds.

As a memoriam to him, it was a momentous performance. Where Cork landed jabs, Mayo delivered straight punches and yet it wasn’t until their fifth goal at the death that they could finally realise this scintillating game was theirs.
