It lead to an early goal for Rian O’Neill but Keith Higgins batted away a ball he should have caught and cleared. They were nothing more than old fashioned back-play tackles, getting the hand in and knocking the ball away. It took Mayo quite a while to work out Armagh’s kick-outs. It summed up the rollercoaster ride of what it is to be a Mayo footballer. Again, though, Mayo nearly gave it away with loose passing out of defence and Armagh closed to within a point.
