Just look at that reaction...
While it had absolutely zero impact on the result of the game, or really any impact at all, there was one moment from Cillian O'Connor that caught our eye during the game.
O'Connor finished with a tally six points for his shift, but he also provided this little nugget of skill which probably went unnoticed for a lot of people.
We're not making any comment on the tackle or whatever proceeded it, but nothing was going to stop the Mayo man picking up the ball.

Galway defeated Mayo in the same fixture last year, but prior to that, the Tribesmen didn't have a lot to cheer about when it came to facing Mayo in quite a while.
So it's understandable that fans were over the moon at Sunday's result... even if some of them celebrated in more smug ways than others as this picture taken by Tommy Varden Bar & Catering Supplies shows.
