Mayo Minors : Connacht Champions 2010
Mayo minors have given us plenty to shout about in recent years and have put down a marker again this year. Yesterday they added Galway to the Roscommon and Leitrim scalps to retain their Connacht title and made it 3-in-a-row. The 3-09 to 1-10 final score suggests it was a decisive win but for much of the game the sides were evenly matched ... that was until Mayo took an 8 point lead after a 3 goal blitz mid way through the second half. For the remaining 15 minutes, after the last goal, Galway outscored us by 4 points to 1 but Mayo were on course for another title.
