Mayo and Meath played out a thriller in MacHale Park. Here’s how the Green and Red rated.
5. Sam Callinan (6) The Ballina Stephenites defender was caught flat-foot in the first half like many of his defensive collegaues, but Callinan improved in the second half. Put a lot of pressure on opposition attackers when the game was in the melting pot.

6. David McBrien (6.5) The Ballaghaderreen man was busy throughout. Had a quiet first half but in the second half, he found himself on a lot of ball. Helped set up Mayo's attacking threat from the centre back area.

7. Enda Hession (8.5) The Garrymore man secured the player of the match award and was fully deserving of it. Turned the ball over a couple of times, but refused to dwell on that. Kicked two points that lit the fire before half time and after the break Hession was excellent as Mayo completed the comeback.
