The 18-year-old was his side's second top points scorer, with 0-06, as the Rossies blew away the Green and Red in the second half.
Mayo's top scorer on the day was Ryan O'Donoghue, with 1-04, and, speaking with SportsJOE he had huge praise for his young teammate after the game.

You can watch O'Donoghue's words on Kobe below.
