Penalty pain and big upsets - reflection time for teams dumped from football championship

The expectation was that a home tie against a Derry side who had lost three of their championship games would give Mayo a strong claim for a place in the quarter-finals. But as Conor Doherty’s penalty slipped past Colm Reape to see Derry advance after extra-time, and a shootout, Mayo found themselves in the familiar House of Pain surroundings.

Crucial wins against Dublin and Galway also eluded Mayo due to lack of composure in the closing minutes. Having just taken the lead against Dublin in Hyde Park with a 73rd minute free from Ryan O’Donoghue, they conceded a Cormac Costello equaliser which ensured Dublin earned a draw to progress directly to the quarter-finals as group winners. Against Galway, they gave away the last two scores of the game.

Tyrone, by contrast, had just completed back-to-back championship wins for the first time since 2021. But they were unable to build on that momentum as they relinquished opportunities with seven wides in the first half. And their second half fightback was insufficient in stopping Roscommon from picking up just their second win in 11 games.Sam Mulroy after scoring the winning free for Louth against Cork.

They were overwhelmed by Kerry in their All-Ireland group opener but seemed to restore themselves with a second-half rally of five points to earn a draw against Louth. They followed that up with a three-point win over Meath to enjoy their first competitive triumph in almost five months. Along with the uncertainty around Corey’s plans, the future of star forward Conor McManus also remains unknown as Monaghan look to recover and regroup through the Winter.
