Ugly scenes mar Galway's win over Mayo as O'Connor brothers see red in feisty affairIt was tough and feisty all day before boiling over in the 65th minute when at least 20 players became involved in a bust-up close to the Galway goal. Further hostilities saw the O'Connor brothers send off, Cillian on a straight red card and Diarmuid on a second yellow. Rows apart, it was Galway's day as they recorded their third successive League win against a Mayo side that made no impression with the wind in the second half. A feisty first half saw Wicklow referee, Anthony Nolan wave no fewer than five yellow cards (Galway 3, Mayo 2). Mayo: D Clarke; G Cafferkey, C Crowe, E O’Donoghue (0-1); C Boyle (0-1), P Durcan (0-1); S Coen; J Gibbons, A O’Shea; K McLoughlin(0-1f), M Hall, D O'Connor (0-1); C O'Connor (0-5, 5f), J Doherty (0-1f), C Loftus.
