Durcan steers Mayo through the grind and past Westmeath

James Horan's side's greater experience of tight situations keeps Westmeath at bay 

ELUSIVE: Mayo's Fionn McDonagh evades the tackle of Westmeath's Ronan O'Toole in Mullingar on Saturday.

Allianz FL Division 2N: Westmeath 2-12 Mayo 0-21. 

James Horan’s post-match assertion that “Mayo didn’t start the game well, but we just kept grinding away and got there in the end” neatly summed up his side’s three-point win against a plucky Westmeath outfit in a very entertaining contest played in showery conditions in Mullingar on Saturday afternoon.
