The Mayo senior hurlers have maintained their 100% record in the Nicky Rackard Cup with a hard fought win over Louth this afternoon.
Ray Larkin’s men were three behind at the break, with the wee county hitting 1-14.
Mayo came out strong in the second half with a goal from Sioman Thomas before Louth retook the lead with Leon Fox hitting the net.

Eoghan Delaney, Cormac Phillips and Liam Lavin contributed 0-4 each with 1-1 from Kieran McDermott, while Shane Boland hit 0-5 – a good spread of Mayo scorers.
