The old rivals meet at Dr Hyde Park for the All-Ireland minor football final.
It’s unique really and I’m sure there’s going to be a sting in the Galway tail. It makes for a great challenge from Mayo’s point of view too.” He said: “It’s a difficult one for the Mayo management having had those two victories already.

Galway moved up through the gears during the second half to run out convincing winners of this competition for the first time since 2007.
The teams were level four times during the opening period but Galway dominated the rest of the half and well-worked scores from Colm Costello (2, one free), Fionn O’Connor and Stephen Curley pushed them into an 0-8 to 0-5 lead. The teams then traded scores through Monaghan (free) and Ronan Clarke before the aforementioned Maheady fired over two inspirational points from long-range to put Mayo ahead for the first time (0-5 to 0-4) on 19 minutes. But Mayo gradually grew into the game and points from Cathal Keaveny (free) and the impressive James Maheady tied the game up for the first time. In theory the game was there for the taking, but Mayo were unable to get any closer due to a combination of poor decision-making and good Galway defending. Mayo were unable to find their best form throughout the course of the game and the Connacht champions were outscored by 0-7 to 0-3 during the second period. Alan Glynn’s well-drilled side were two points up at the interval and they moved up through the gears during the second half to run out convincing winners of this competition for the first time since 2007.

By the time they got back on top in that second half spell, they trailed by 0-11 to 0-6 and were in big trouble. Galway’s best spell was in the run up to half-time, when they went on a run of four points in a row, including one score from Stephen Curley that showed the best of them. Mayo travelled to Dr Hyde Park fearing that beating Galway three times in the one campaign would prove beyond them.
