Dublin attack mayo in All Ireland Semi Final draw in Croke
Park Sun 30 Aug 2015
Dublin 2-12 Mayo 1-15
It was a bad-tempered match full of unsavoury of the ball incidents.
Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly’s penalty after 5 minutes gave the Leinster champions a 1-7 to 0-7
interval advantage. This was for a foul
on Paul Flynn may have taken place just outside the large rectangle.
Dublin’s Michael Darragh MacAuley and Denis Bastick were
black cared in the second half.
Dublin got a lot of turnovers by Mayo over carrying and they curtailed Mayo’s forwards well
Mayo’s O'Connor converted a penalty after Colm Boyle was brought down. Moran then equalised following a rash Cluxton
restart and was the last score with none in 5 minutes of injury time.
Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly was shown a red card at the end for
an incident involving Lee Keegan and was only one of many incidents. Not the
first time Connolly has been red carded in an All-Ireland semi-final but until
the St Vincent’s man curbs his aggressive behaviour it will continue to be a
problem.
