\n All-Ireland SFC Quarter-Final\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Mayo 0-23\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Cork 0-18\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
Mayo are the first team to book their place in the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals after punishing a wasteful Cork this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Kobe McDonald marked his Croke Park debut with a point inside 30 seconds, followed by Ryan O\u2019Donoghue\u2019s first of the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Steven Sherlock (\u201945) and Colm O\u2019Callaghan levelled it before Darragh Beirne nudged Mayo back in front, although that was helped by some early Cork wides.<\/p>\n
A two-point free by Mark Cronin and a single by Ian Maguire put the Rebels in front and further scores from Sherlock and Paul Walsh kept Cork noses in front but a stunning two-pointer from McDonald and Ryan O\u2019Donoghue\u2019s second of the day levelled it for a second time.<\/p>\n
Despite another Sherlock \u201945 and Chris \u00d3g Jones putting the Munster men back in front, a breach by Cork allowed O\u2019Donoghue to level it at the break with a two-point free to leave it 0-9 apiece.<\/p>\n
Cork nudged back ahead early in the second half, but a pair of two-pointers from Beirne and a point from McDonald pushed Mayo ahead. Cork went back in front with four of the next five points, but Mayo led by one, 0-15 to 0-14, with 51 minutes played.<\/p>\n
A fifth two-pointer for Mayo, this time Jack Carney getting in on the act, and a point from substitute Tommy Conroy had the Mayo crowd rocking. There was still time for Cork to come back, with Steven Sherlock\u2019s two-point free giving them hope, but Jack Livingstone\u2019s brilliant save to deny Brian O\u2019Driscoll.<\/p>\n
From there, the Cork resistance petered out and another two frees from O\u2019Donoghue either side of a Conor Loftus point secured Mayo\u2019s place in the last four for the first time since 2021.<\/p>\n
