Kerry substitute Keith Evans clipped a score, but Carney, impressive once again, nailed a two pointer from play. Mayo were five clear.<\/p>\n
Inevitably, Kerry summoned a response. The Cliffords combined to supply three points – two for Paudie and one for David, and a Graham O’Sullivan effort had the margin down to the minimum.<\/p>\n
Kobe McDonald’s 55th minute point carried meaning for Mayo, but David Clifford had one between the teams with 14 minutes left.<\/p>\n
Mayo embarked on a critical little burst. Flynn and McDonald struck points, and Ryan O’Donoghue guided over a gorgeous two pointer. Mayo had a cushion of five once more.<\/p>\n
Kerry wouldn’t go away. David Clifford’s exquisite right footed two pointer was followed by a single from Paudie.<\/p>\n
Se\u00e1n O’Shea, who had carried the fight throughout, attempted a two pointer from distance, but it didn’t go over and Mayo broke clear with replacement Tommy Conroy sealing the deal with a fisted point. The Green and Red flag was proudly placed on the summit of the Gaelic Football World.<\/p>\n
