But it is Mayo who once again find a way through the qualifiers, and head for the All-Ireland quarter-finals with momentum. Mayo scored five of the next six scores to get back into contention, before they struck for goal. Committing numbers forward, they were caught at the back. The introduction of Darren McHale made a significant difference, as he kicked two well-taken scores. It was a classic Mayo display in the qualifiers. Oisin Mullin found himself bombarded by Kildare defenders, but was shouldered into clear space. Jordan Flynn for Aidan O'Shea (61) Darragh Kirwan for Neil Flynn (55) They never do things the easy way. Jordan Flynn sent a lobbed ball over the scrambling Aaron O'Neill and into the net, sealing a 2-13 to 0-14 victory. It worked a treat, as the Lilywhites frustrated the Mayo attacking efforts, and forced the Westerners to take on low-percentage efforts. Mayo are through to the All-Ireland quarter-finals after a hard-fought 2-13 to 0-14 win over Kildare in Croke Park.
