Mayo defender Lee Keegan says they've plenty to work on ahead of their All-Ireland SFC quarter-final date with Tyrone next Saturday.

Stephen Rochford's side advanced to the last eight with a 3-15 to 1-14 victory over Westmeath yesterday evening and Keegan accepts that the Westerners weren't entirely convincing in their performance.

"We put in quite a convincing first half, but we need to review what we did wrong in the second half," he said.

"A win is a win but we were disappointed with that second-half performance. We let them take the initiative and they came at us from all angles. We pride ourselves on being a 70-minute team.

"We have plenty to work on heading into the quarter-final but we are where we want to be. That's the main thing."

Looking ahead to the clash with Mickey Harte's men, he added: "We are not going to underestimate the challenge from Tyrone. They are Ulster champions, have come through a tough campaign, and have fresh, young lads coming through 

"That said, we're looking forward to what will be a huge test next weekend. We are where want to be. We're in a quarter-final and anything can happen."
