Well done Mayo.

I must admit that I certainly did not see that coming. Great showing from the Mayo lads considering so many people had them completely written off.

They started poorly and I think we all thought the worst when Cork converted their penalty at the beginning of the game. However Mayo came storming back into the game to grind out an impressive victory.

Cant say i saw it coming myself

Before today no-one gave Mayo a chance , Myself included and may i just say we where put firmly back in our box. What fools we where , This is sport and anything anyday can happen. Absolutly delighted for them

As for Cork - Well , I dont know what to say. i really dont.

Never ever have I seen a mayo team play as well as today. They actually had confidence, they actually had brains & they actually had forwards. I still cannot believe it.

Enda lands another blow against Micheál!!!!!!

Well done Mayo.

Totally outplayed us in the 2nd half and never looked tired.
That's a total of four points conceded in the second half of their last three matches - impressive stuff.

Cork never turned up passing the ball around the fullback line messing about i think they belived their own press a bit like galway hurlers coming off a great performace expecting to walk it not good enough well done mayo but i think cork need to take a long look at themselfs have the team to beat mayo all day long

Cork scored 2-6. 1-2 from placed balls. 1-3 from hands / fists. That's one kicked point in the whole of seventy minutes. Not good enough.

Congratulations to Mayo! It wouldn't have bothered me if they won, but Cork didn't perform on the day.
