O'Connor breaks scoring record

O'Connor breaks scoring record
Mayo's Cillian O'Connor drives his penalty over the bar

The only bright spot on an otherwise disappointing day for Mayo in Killarney was Cillian O'Connor setting a new all-time scoring championship record of 23-285.

The Ballintubber clubman's six-point haul saw him overtake Kerry's Colm Cooper at the summit of the top scorer chart. However, he could have scored more, having rattled the crossbar with a goal attempt and also having had a penalty brilliantly tipped over for a point by Kerry 'keeper in the closing stages.

Mayo's 10-point defeat, 0-15 to 1-21, to a David Clifford-inspired Kingdom leaves them needing to beat Meath and Donegal in their remaining Super 8s ties to  have any chance of qualifying for the All-Ireland semi-finals.
