Still standing but Mayo on shaky ground

Mayo 1-19 Tipperary 1-11

This was a Mayo performance we’ve seen several times, the one which has their fanatical supporters falling over themselves in exasperation for most of the afternoon. The closing act, however, sees a different script produced and it’s all smiles, selfies and signed jerseys thereafter.

At times, particularly in the closing quarter of an hour, the visitors were electric, slicing through the opposition defence with incredible ease - 1-8 to 0-0 they outscored Tipp in the closing 18 minutes.
