MAYO SERVED UP yet another classic but had to withstand a thrilling Monaghan comeback in the second half to get through by the slenderest of margins in Clones.
In a game that produced ten two-point scores, the Connacht side were 1-17 to 0-9 ahead by the break with Monaghan’s traditional slow start hurting them again.

The first-half goal came from Kobe McDonald who hit 1-4 in the first half with a special two-pointer.
However, Monaghan had five goal chances before finally hitting the net through Bobby McCaul who was a constant menace when they deployed the long ball. However, McCaul suffered a nasty-looking knee injury when his influence was all over this game.
They hit another when Stephen Mooney ransacked the middle of the Mayo defence to leave the finish a nerve-shredding experience for Mayo.
On the very last kickout, Kobe McDonald climbed highest to secure possession as the seconds ticked away.
