Mayo ... 2-14 Galway ... 0-07: Controversy reigned in Garrymore yesterday at the end of this FBD League clash.

Though Mayo won by 13 points, many thought Galway would progress to the final by virtue of the high score they'd brought into the game.

But others argued that Mayo had eroded Galway's advantage.

A Connacht Council official confirmed last evening that a meeting, probably tomorrow, would settle the issue.

The game itself marked the return of Padhraic Joyce, and though he hit four points, he was powerless to stop Mayo

Mayo led 1-3 to 0-4 at half-time, but five quick points early in the second half began the rout in earnest.
