Connacht SFC Semi-Final  May 1-15  Roscommon 0-13  Anthony Hennigan at Dr Hyde Park, Roscommon  (Att: 13,967)  Six and a half, touching seven.

From midweek the Mayo faithful began to trickle into Manhattan. The distinctive West of Ireland accent could be heard around corners. Red and green gear could be observed crossing busy intersections. The Mayo mafia were on their way.

The result was as expected.

Attitude is everything. From the word go on Saturday night, Mayo were at it. They tackled hard, snapped in to breaks, pushed up and did not give Roscommon a moment’s comfort.

Five Mayo men have helped University of Galway (UG) win the Electric Ireland Higher Education Division 1 Football League after they defeated Ulster University 0-15 to 0-9 in last night's final in Abbotstown.
