Mayo 2-12 : Derry 1-12
Sat 13 March 2010
Mayo bounced right back after last Sundays loss to Dublin with a very positive performance and a great win against Derry - taking league points in the Derry back yard is a difficult and rare event. Mayo were never behind in the match and it was both a re-assuring team performance along with some tip top individual performances.
