"It came from a bedrock of hard work, it probably wasn't there two weeks ago."
"We knew we had to get back to brass tacks today, it was work rate, working hard for each other, the simple facets of the game that don't take much talent."
"With Kevin having to step back, it was difficult for the group. He needs to look after himself and get himself right. Health is most important for anybody. We've been a united group all year."

FULL TIME - Tyrone 1-13 Mayo 2-17
It's fitting that Jack Coyne points for Mayo with the last action of the game. A worthy victory for the Westerners, who were value for a win at the end of a couple of weeks where everything was thrown at them.
They bounce back from defeat to Cavan to lead Group 1 now. Cavan face Donegal at Kingspan Breffni Park tomorrow.

"Vigour, verve, purpose, belief," is how GAA+ commentator David McIntyre is describing Mayo's display in Omagh and it is hard to disagree.
Ryan O'Donoghue points again and Mayo lead by eight, as they did at half-time. Tyrone can't keep up.

GOAL! - Breaffy's Davitt Neary is taken down by Liam Gray, having run onto Aidan O'Shea's pass. It's a clear penalty and Ryan O'Donoghue brings his tally for the day to 1-6.
A seventh championship goal for the 25-year-old and surely, that is that.

57' - Tyrone substitute Shea O'Hare has had a tough few minutes. Some lax play allows Carney in to point and then he is yellow carded and Ryan O'Donoghue's routine free raises the white flag.
Then Jack Carney kicks Mayo's eighth wide of the game via a free from hands.

Mayo respond to Niall Morgan's free for two-points with well-taken scores from Jack Carney and Paddy Durcan. Those can be categorised as settlers for the Westerners. Still a one score game though.

Rory Grugan felt like Armagh had 'something special' and wanted to go again
Rory Grugan was 33 when he helped Armagh land the All-Ireland title - but walking away never entered his head. It was a long and painful climb to the top with plenty of heartache along the way, including back to back Ulster Final penalty shoot out defeats and All-Ireland exits (2022/23). But the idea of 'One and Done' wasn't something the Ballymacnab playmaker entertained for a second. 10 months on from that famous All-Ireland Final win over Galway, Armagh are back in the last eight again and looking formidable. Their five point victory over Dublin at Croke Park at the weekend meant Kieran McGeeney's men not only topped the table for the third successive year, but they also made another piece of history. Armagh became the only side across the three years of the round robin series to qualify for an All-Ireland quarter-final with a game to spare. 'I think when you reach that pinnacle there might be a perception on the outside like, oh you'd walk away or whatever,' says Grugan, who hit eight points against Dublin. 'I was 33 at the time. It was honestly the opposite - where you wanted to go again. 'You felt like you had something special and that was Geezer's thing straight away. It's just the way he is. It's about driving it again and seeing where it can take us. 'No team in Armagh has certainly done it (back to back All-Ireland titles). It's obviously a very long way away to be talking about that type of thing. 'I suppose it's something that drives you, and we are at a stage where we are at an All-Ireland quarter-final and we'll just see where it takes us from there.' Grugan says Armagh can use all the experience they had from the good days and the bad ones. 'I think we are in a position where we probably were frustrated,' he says. 'You were in danger of being given a tag of not getting over the line in a close game, or nearly men, or whatever you want to call it. 'Then when you get there and you win that thing, there's definitely a sense of it taking a certain element of pressure off and it liberating you a bit. 'You know that you have that reliance on your experience to get over the line and to win that. 'That when it comes to it, you think that you've been here before. That doesn't mean that it's easy. 'If anything it's actually harder because you have teams that are coming for you now, but I suppose that experience stands to you. You'd like to think that it helps as the year goes on.' Grugan had an easy sell for his team mates in the huddle at Croke Park last Sunday as Armagh geared up for a first Championship encounter with Dublin since 2010. 'You are talking about being one of the older players,' he continued. 'I think when you know you are closer to the end in your career, you relish these things. 'I said after the game last week (win over Derry) I've never played against Dublin in a Championship game in Croke Park. 'I know it wasn't a sellout but I suppose playing into the Hill, the sun shining in Croke Park. I said it to the boys in the huddle before the game. 'This is why you play football. If you can't enjoy that, there's something wrong with you. It's obviously easier when you win. Those are the days you relish, so we'll be looking forward to being back here.' Grugan is playing as well as he ever has, conducting the Armagh attack and weighing in with scores and big defensive plays. 'I think you always have to try and improve,' he says. 'The minute you feel like you are the finished product you are in the wrong game. 'Even the new rules have rejuvenated it for me. You are looking for new things all the time. How you can get better and whether that's defensively or with your shooting and different things. 'There is so much of my game I would like to be better at. You'll come away after the thing (Dublin game) and it's all great, but there's so much I know from both the team perspective and even my own that you could do better. 'That's what high performance is. You are always striving for perfection. You will never get there.' The 34 year old French teacher says Armagh won't be treating the Galway game lightly, even though it's a dead rubber for them. 'I don't think at this level taking a step back or having some sort of mindset of not wanting to win a game is a good thing,' he continued. 'Momentum is a big thing. You have two weeks to Galway and two weeks after that to an All-Ireland quarter-final. 'So I think we are going to be really going after it. We just have to take it as a normal game. I know it's not do or die in the sense of we have already topped the group. 'There is talk about the boys that want their spot. Everyone is going to be pushing on, so I think everyone has enough pride in the thing to be saying they want to go on and win that game. 'It means you are going into a quarter-final with momentum rather than coming off a loss.'

Joe Brolly on the hilarious welcome he received at a Mayo pub
Joe Brolly has given a glimpse into the hilarious welcome he received at a Mayo pub over the weekend. The Derryman has moved to the West of Ireland, where he lives in the Knockmore area with his wife and radio host Laurita Blewitt. Brolly is on the coaching team for Knockmore GAA and has seemingly left a big impression on the local community. The former RTE pundit went to O'Tooles pub in Tourmakeady to watch his beloved Derry take on Galway on Sunday. And Brolly was greeted by a hilarious series of signs that stated his claim to many objects in the pub. Brolly was recently bemoaning the Mayo footballers for ruining a multiple bet he had put on with a friend across a number of GAA matches over the course of a weekend. The All-Ireland winner explained on his Free State Podcast: "I'm the GAA guy. He's the horses guy, I don't know anything about horses. But I'm the GAA guy. "We're really careful with it. Built up a lovely kitty. It's a lovely kitty. So we're sitting with it. "I said, look, I am telling you every fibre of my being is screaming to me that Limerick hurlers are going to beat Cork. "I said 'I know this in the way that a man knows when he's in love that Limerick are going to beat the Cork hurlers'. "They're stinging from last year. This is one of the greatest dynasties that's ever been, never mind in hurling or f***ing Gaelic football or anything else. A truly exceptional, frightening, demolition job of a team that can play it whatever way you want to. And I said, they're going to beat Cork. Great odds. "And I said, why don't we pad it out? We'll fire in a few more certs. He said, 'we'll build it up'. "We brought the whole package up to 11/1 with Down footballers to beat Clare and that was a good one "Down footballers to beat Clare, which we had surprisingly good odds on, I think because it was in Clare. "Tipp to beat Waterford in the hurling. Tipp always beat Waterford in the hurling. "And then the fourth vote. I said, like, come on 'there's absolutely no way that Cavan can beat Mayo in MacHale Park in Mayo'. I said it to him and he said, 'even I know that and I don't know anything about football, but you're right'. "Tick the box. Off he went, he's the wee online thing with the bookies. 11/1 for the package. "And there they came rolling in. There they came rolling in. Down slaughtered Clare, Tipp beat Waterford. He said, 'fair play to you Brolly'. He said, 'Limerick are already sort of 1-3 to no score up against Cork'. "And then the word runs through from McHale Park. Cavan are stuffing Mayo. "Martin Carney, the great Martin Carney, the inimitable Martin Carney, one of the great people of the GAA apparently, he was raging after the match because the Mayo super fans are all out in the pitch getting the autographs of the players after being beat by Cavan. Like, f*** me. "He says, 'those people out there, I wouldn't be surprised to see them climbing the Himalayas naked waving a Mayo flag'. "Oh, bloody Mayo. We put two-thirds of the kitty on. Substantial kitty. This was a good kitty. A very, very good kitty. "The only risky one was Limerick and Cork. People would say I mean, come on, Limerick. I was so certain. That was the foundation of the bet. "That was the foundation. I didn't even tune in to Midwest Radio for the Mayo game, so certain was I. "To be fair, I love the Cavan boys. And I've always had a great grá for the Cavan clubs and the Cavan people. I was truly delighted for them."
The 42

A summer's evening among the Mayo faithful is one well spent
IN HEALY PARK, Omagh, a working journalist has their pick of two very different options. You can go across the pitch from the main stand and take your place in the rather futuristic setting of their elevated, purpose-built media facility. There is ample elbow room. Power points abound. Occasionally, occasionally, there is the chance of sandwiches. There's a convenient jacks. There's a snag though. The sun sets over the main stand, so you find yourself squinting out of the greenhouse. That's not the end of the snag list. The team dugouts are on the far side of the pitch – quite unusual for a GAA ground where the media are usually accommodated in the back of a main stand. And worst of all, it is sound-proofed. Not entirely, but you cannot hear stadium announcements and figuring out the substitutions can be taxing. There may be comfort and convenience, but it feels like you are watching an intercounty game from underwater. Like a lot of things, Covid sorted out the problems we never knew we had. Back then, the grounds staff erected some makeshift press benches with a steel frame and a six-inch plank. They brought power to the area and connected up some extension leads. Advertisement It was meant to be a temporary measure to help with social distancing. But it soon caught on with journalists who wanted the full-fat game experience. The temporary erection is now a permanent arrangement. There may be little room to set your various pieces of tech, and you could end up with a mouthful if you nudged your laptop over the cliff edge and into a frustrated Tyrone fan. But it makes you feel like you're at a game. And with Mayo coming to town, you wanted that good stuff hooked into your veins. A few years back, I had to schlep my way to Dublin to meet the big cheeses of the 42. I sat across a table from three Tech bros handling the ageing process well, and was asked what pieces I might pitch in the middle of a championship season. One was to sit among the Mayo fans for a game when the stakes couldn't be higher. Bushy eyebrows went northwards. They were picking up what I was laying down. They like-a-da-lingo. They offered me the job. I thought nothing more of the idea. Tomorrow's another day. Packed it away with the rest of the arrows in the Quiver. Well, today is the day. The big idea gets burned. Could the stakes have been higher? Hardly. Mayo were staring at a May exit from the All-Ireland football championship. Not mathematically, but with a final game against Donegal looming, consecutive defeats to Galway, Cavan and Tyrone wasn't going to do anything much for the confidence. But they jumped into an early lead of 0-4 to 0-1. Ben McDonnell got Tyrone's second point but the pattern of the game was set. When Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan had a kickout, he found Mayo goalkeeper Colm Reape clogging up the left wing, his favoured to spot to land a kick. The runs offered to him were lacking in conviction. He was forced to hoof it in the direction of Conn Kilpatrick but Mayo had rediscovered their Mayo-ness. They swamped and bullied Tyrone. They were aggressive and decisive. The crowd fed off it. After a tentative opening ten minutes when they didn't know if they were going to commit or not – they've been stung so many times – they got going properly, mirroring the effort of their team. Naturally, this being Mayo, they did not make life simple for themselves. Tyrone launched a comeback. By the 53rd minute they were a single point adrift. Just the right time to unleash the subs and watch them drag the home side over the line. But the substitutions had a completely different effect on each side. Tyrone visibly wilted. Their subs were forced into mistakes and panicking. Mayo's were assured, hungry and ravenous. The sight of Davitt Neary chasing down a Morgan short kickout to Tyrone's Shea O'Hare summed it up. O'Hare is a young player making his way, but his 80% run to the ball wasn't enough for Neary's eyeballs-out effort and Neary stole in for the steal, before setting up Paddy Durcan for a point. Afterwards, the supporters took over the pitch. They lingered and basked and bathed and wrung all they could out of a good day following their boys. In the stand long after the crowd had cleared out, Rob Murphy and John Gunnigan of the Mayo Football Podcast were still gassing away, pulling in people in their orbit to talk about Mayo and, bloody hell, Mayo football, eh? Stand-in Mayo manager, Stephen Rochford. James Crombie / INPHO James Crombie / INPHO / INPHO All of this, and barely a mention of Kevin McStay, presumably at home recuperating. There's an old Brendan Rodgers yarn holds he said that football management was like standing in a river of shit. When you were appointed to a role, it was already running ankle-high. The trick is to make sure it doesn't get shoulder-high. You know something, it's one thing for Brendan Rodgers to say that as he reclines in his top manager comforts, with self-portraits on the wall and his property portfolio propping up the kitchen table – valued at 102 properties ten years ago during a divorce settlement. It's quite another for the managers that live among their communities, living to every gulpin at the shop giving them advice. Kevin McStay may be living in Roscommon for many years, but I'd say he has had his fill of guff from experts all the same this year. And his eager assistant Stephen Rochford hadn't even stood in the river only to find it was actually waist high with a strong current, before his first game back in charge even threw-in. On the sidelines for GAA+, the hirsute Padraig O'Hora said that we could expect nothing different from Mayo as Rochford was the man set up the team, the selection and tactics. He even went as far as to suggest that there should be a player's coup. Woah, mamma! There can never be enough drama for some.

But he was also wrong as well as Mayo's emotional arousal and controlled aggression was in a sweet spot. The pressures managers and players face are amplified in this system.

Jim McGuinness confronts Cavan manager Ray Galligan. Lorraine O'Sullivan / INPHO Lorraine O'Sullivan / INPHO / INPHO Chased back down the line in quick time, the only other time we can remember McGuinness getting on like this was in a qualifier game against Laois when he was given a powerful shove on the sideline by manager Justin McNulty. That game also followed a defeat to a Malachy O'Rourke team. In Celtic Park, Derry produced their best performance of the year in winning, then throwing away, then rescuing a draw against Galway. The panic of the last few moments felt like proper championship. All of this and we can only afford a cursory whizz through the majesty of Rian O'Neill, the courage of Adam Crimmins and his block on Tommy Durnin to seal a famous home win for Down, the scalding temperature of Celtic Park and how ferociously Derry played. On and on and on. Needle: Kerry and Cork get stuck in. Bryan Keane / INPHO Bryan Keane / INPHO / INPHO Whatever about the way it is presented and who can qualify, nobody can deny that it has been a crazy ride. In the 16 games of the round-robin, nine of them have been wins for the travelling team and two draws. The concluding round will be one of the great Gaelic football weekends of the calendar, with suspense and desperation in equal measure. After many years of tinkering, it's difficult to argue that we haven't arrived at a very solid method of running off a championship, only to sack it off for 2026.
