The 30-year-old was one of Mayo’s best performers until his departure and had weighed in with a fine point early in the second half.
With an extended period on the sidelines likely, it’s a tough blow for the player after he has established himself on the inter-county stage in recent seasons and for Mayo as they head towards the qualifiers deprived of the services of a key figure.
There’s been plenty good wishes for Parsons as he faces into a period of recovery.
Obviously delighted to get the win today up in McHale Park. But rivalries aside, the very best wishes to @TomParsons_8 A horrific injury, Never nice to see that happen! Speedy recovery Tom.

Hope @TomParsons_8 makes a speedy recovery, had the pleasure of playing with him in Aussie Rules & against him, he is the engine of @MayoGAA & the unsung hero of this team for the past 6 years, every team has one but he’s the “ Go-to” guy for Mayo... Speedy recovery Tom
Takes the good out of any game seeing an injury like what happened today! Wishing @TomParsons_8 all the best on the road to recovery. Thankfully he’d got down on 1 knee already so he’ll be in good hands I’m sure #BestWishes
