AFL Division 1: Galway 0-26 Mayo 0-16 

IT may have just been the second day of February but there was no disguising the fiery rivalry between Mayo and Galway in Castlebar on Sunday afternoon. The neighbours had met on 146 occasions, but this was different. The new rules reward long-distance kicking and Galway totally outclassed the home side in this department when they kicked seven two-pointers in a wind-assisted second half.
