Mayo found the extra gear that they needed when the tide looked to have turned against them in the Connacht Minor Football Championship final in MacHale Park on Sunday. With 13 minutes left on the clock, Roscommon had put themselves into a one point lead and looked like they were about to turn for home. But this Mayo side who showed they have plenty of bottle when needed against Galway in their semi-final win, upped the ante again and sprinted past Roscommon over the closing stages.

Roscommon’s minor footballers are just one hour of football away from booking a place in this year’s All-Ireland minor final. Tyrone lie between them and a place in this year’s decider where Mayo await the winners.

They simply blew all opposition out of the water in Leinster and were expected to have little difficulty in taking Roscommon’s scalp in the quarter-final. After all Roscommon had failed to retain their Connacht title.
