Limerick opened the scoring with an early goal and Mayo folk must have been worrying that the qualifier dithers that they came through last year were about to surface again.
Not on Cillian O'Connor's watch.
Only just back in action after a recent injury, he set off like a scalded cat down in Limerick. He reeled off three unanswered points from play almost immediately to respond and that settled the Mayo troops into it.

He finished his afternoon with a hat trick of goals on an afternoon when Mayo really caught fire. In the end, they ran out 5-19 to 3-7 winners.
With Andy Moran on fire beside him, it was a sight for sore Mayo eyes.

Cillian O'Connor finished his afternoon with 3-9. He's now only 22 points behind Colm Cooper, with 23-261 now to his name in Championship football.
