The battle for the Moclair Cup has reached the quarter-final stage and this weekend the last eight sides left standing will do battle for a place in the final four of the competition.

When I think of John Malkovich, Ralph Fiennes, Gary Oldman, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Liam Neeson, John Travolta, Robert Downey Jnr, Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, and many more, I scan the list and think of them in wonderful roles.

You would imagine there is very little more than can be written about Mayo and Dublin's rivalry over the past seven years.

It was an occasion like we have never experienced, it was a performance that we have become somewhat accustomed to, it was a result we could only have dreamed of. It was a proper Mayo day.
