All positive. It finished in a two-point victory for Monaghan in Castlebar, but both teams left content as they continue to get familiar with the new Gaelic football rules for 2025.

Mayo manager Kevin McStay sent out a side that included 17 players who did not play championship in 2024 for the challenge in aid of the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. His side drew level in the final quarter but then conceded a 50metre free for failing to hand the ball back to an opponent.
