Lidl National Football LeagueKerry 2-8Mayo 0-4By Stuart TynanAn early second half blitz saw TG4 All-Ireland champions Kerry boost their chances of a Division 1 final spot in the Lidl NFL and left Mayo staring relegation in the face. Despite only scoring two points in the first half through Saoirse Lally and Kayla Doherty when they had the wind, Mayo were competitive in the opening 30 minutes but Danielle O’Leary’s goal a minute after the restart was a huge set-back for the home side in Swinford.

An “unreal” feeling, as Jordan Flynn described it, but for all involved or connected with Crossmolina, the feeling is as real as it gets: the Deel Rovers are heading back to Croke Park. Any concerns about last Saturday’s All-Ireland intermediate semi-final being postponed until next weekend because of the wintry weather were quickly allayed by the match officials after which Crossmolina demonstrated why they are the ‘Real Deel’ with their best performance of the championship so far.

Tynagh-Abbey/Duniry will stand in their way of making history but an improved showing will be needed in the decider despite the scoreline.

It appears that no matter when Mayo clubs – or the Mayo team itself – travel abroad for championships games you will find some connection on the opposition to the county. North London Shamrocks are a case in point. The newly crowned – and first time – London senior champions will take on Ballina Stephenites in the quarter-finals of the AIB Connacht Club SFC in Ruislip this coming Saturday, and one of their selectors is Balla native Niall Costello, who has been living in London for 11 years.
