Sounds like some second half performance by Mayo today, i didn't make it myself but it sounds awesome, goals galore.

Anyone at it from in here?

1-5 to 10 for Cavan at HT. Ended 5-12 to 0-16 for Mayo.

Cavan started a complete different team in the 2nd half. Cian Mackey was very dangerous for Cavan in the 1st half. Decent game. Coen must have ended up with 1-4 for Mayo, showed well. Burke and AOS were very good. Andy Moran running off the ball was class, ended up with 2 goals before being replaced by Evan Regan. Alan Murphy came on for Carolan and got 2 goals also, good finishes for close in.

Did ok, nothing major either way. Mayo porous a few times, Cavan had about four 1 on 1s...Barry,DOC and Geraghty did running drills for all of HT. Looked to be moving well

Anyone know who was playing midfield for Cavan?

Far from awesome. Very misleading scoreline imo. Cavan better team for a lot of it and played 2 completely different 15s. They hit crossbar twice and O Malley made at least 1 top drawer save. We found it difficult to create point chances consistently. We got turned over repeatedly in the first half. If the first half was a reflection of our form then you d be getting a bit concerned.

But it was only a challenge so not to be taken seriously. The individual good bits (like Andy playing nearly an hour) more important than the overall.

At least seven championship starters rested Clarke,G Cafferkey,K Higgins,S O'Shea,Keegan,Varley and Dillon shows the strength of panel.

We had a challenge match too but I'm under orders from the Ros Horse not to divulge details to the enemy. 'Twas a lovely day, mind.

Ah, go on tell us. Sure we are all friends here. We promise not to tell anybody!

Great to see a intercounty match in Ballina. Pitch looks in great condition. Like moysider said the scoreline flatters mayo with the fact that cavan had a lot of goal opportunities and at least two stonewall penalties waved on. Nice way to pass a bank holiday monday

Thanks for the info Ballinaman.

It must of been London, hence your refusal to reveal the opposition.
