Derry find the answers to a late Mayo surge to return to the top of Allianz Football League Division One as they win 3-15 to 2-13 in Castlebar
Derry led by nine points midway through the second half in Castlebar but had to withstand a Mayo fightback before closing out the winDerry found the answers to a late Mayo surge to return to the top of Division One and leave them on the brink of a place in the league final.
Mayo hit back just seconds later as Jordan Flynn burst through the middle and his thunderbolt gave Odhran Lynch no chance. It was a lively 10 minutes after the restart with the teams hitting three points apiece but it looked to be game over on 44 minutes as Conor McCluskey was put through to lash home a third Derry goal, making it 3-10 to 1-7.
However, Conor Glass eased Derry nerves with a score and after McGuigan brought his tally to 1-6 for the day, substitute Niall Toner slotted back-to-back points to finish the job and leave Derry with one foot in the final.
