Mayo will make the journey to the midlands this weekend looking to get back to winning ways against Westmeath, following their narrow defeat to Donegal last weekend in Ballybofey.

Mayo had already booked their place in the semi-finals of the league before their win over Meath last weekend, but keeping up winning ways and giving game time to some players who haven't featured yet this year was a pleasing outcome for James Horan.

Mayo's win over Meath was virtually a challenge game in all but name. It gave licence for both Managers to try new players, test different combinations and give others a rest with games coming thick and fast.

With both sides through to the semi-finals the threat was gone from this game, but the chance to top the group was to play for and Mayo did their part with a comprehensive win over Meath in McHale Park.

Mayo were put to the pin of their collar for the vast majority of the game by Westmeath in Mullingar on Saturday.

A last minute pointed free from Deirdre Doherty saw Mayo edge out Galway in the opening round of the Ladies National Football League in MacHale Park on Saturday evening.

For the second week in a row Mayo kicked 21 points and picked up two points, but it was a far more difficult assignment than the faced seven days previously against Down.
