Photograph: Lorraine O’Sullivan/InphoThere may have been nothing of consequence at stake but that didn’t stop this game at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones ending in a welter of excitement.
But Mayo still had to come from behind in the last quarter before getting the better of Vinnie Corey’s stubborn home side, who had already been relegated.A goal from substitute Kevin Loughran propelled Monaghan ahead by 1-14 to 1-11 after 65 minutes and they looked set to pick up just their second victory of a disappointing campaign, even without the likes of Jack McCarron and Conor McManus.
Such a scenario had seemed unlikely after Mayo surged into a 1-3 to 0-3 lead on 13 minutes after a goal from Darren McHale was quickly followed by a neat point by Ruane. Immediately after the goal, the home side rattled off three points without reply from Bannigan and a well-taken mark by Ciarán McNulty to level the game for the second time after 19 minutes.
