The spoils were divided at Dr Hyde Park following a thrilling encounter between Roscommon and Mayo.

Early on the hosts conceded three goals inside 17 minutes to trail 3-2 to 1-1, but Noel Dunning's charges responded impressively.

At half-time Mayo led 3-3 to 1-6 with Roscommon enjoying an impressive second period.

Niall Hurley and Finbar McLoughlin netted goals for Mayo before Shane McGinley replied with a Roscommon major.

Then, Darragh Beirne added a third Mayo goal to edge them seven clear.

Roscommon, though, finished the opening half strongly narrowing the gap to three.

In the closing stages Ryan Conlon reduced the margin to the minimum, and McGinley supplied the leveller.

Afterwards Mayo U20 manager Peadar Gardiner spoke to Midwest Radio’s Stephen Grealis.
