Dublin 2-16
Mayo 0-16

DUBLIN SECURED A six-point win over Mayo to secure a place in the National Football League Division 1 final at Croke Park this afternoon.

After Tyrone had beaten Kildare in the first of a double header at GAA HQ, Bernard Brogan returned to the Dublin starting line-up after a spell on the sidelines to kick five points.

Last year’s beaten All-Ireland finalists Mayo began strongly and found themselves three points ahead 10 minutes in thanks to scores from Cillian O’Connor and Cathal Carolan.

However, first half goals from Paul Mannion and Jason Whelan put the Dubs in the driving seat and they led 2-9 to 0-8 at the break.

O’Connor began the second half as he had the first with a well-placed free-kick between the posts but despite further scores from Aidan O’Shea and Michael Conroy, Jim Gavin’s side held the two-goal cushion throughout.

Seamus O’Shea kept Paddy Andews out with an excellent save five minutes from the end and Dublin go on to play Tyrone in two weeks’ time.

Scorers for Dublin: Paul Mannion 1-4 (0-1f), Bernard Brogan 0-5 (0-1f), Jason Whelan 1-1, Diarmuid Connolly 0-3, Stephen Cluxton (0-1f), Darren Daly, Jack McCaffrey 0-1 each.
Scorers for Mayo: Cillian O’Connor 0-8 (0-7f), Michael Conroy 0-3, Aidan O’Shea 0-2, Jason Gibbons, Kevin McLoughlin (0-1f), Cathal Carolan 0-1 each.
