Stephen Rochford: Mayo need to find goal touch

Mayo will require at least one goal if they are to beat Tipperary, manager Stephen Rochford believes.

He would happily take a second consecutive 0-13 to 0-12 victory but doesn’t foresee Tipperary being held to a dozen points at Croke Park on Sunday. Analysing the win over Tyrone, Rochford says: “We didn’t create any goal chance, which wouldn’t necessarily be easy against Tyrone but is still something I think in order to beat Tipperary and the scores we accumulate we will need to be able to score a goal.

“Otherwise, you’re on about kicking 16 or 17 points and that’s a very difficult challenge considering the way they played against Galway anyway.”
