WATCH: League decider in Mayo takes just 13 seconds

An anticlimax to a brilliant campaign.

Shrule/Glencorrib didn't exactly have to dig it out in the end to clinch the league title. The south Mayo club won Division 1C easier than they would've imagined. The throw-in was uncontested. There were gaping holes through the middle of the opposition defence. They strolled right through unchallenged and popped over the bar without so much as a finger laid on them. In fairness, there wasn't another team there to do anything about it. Shrule/Glencorrib are the 1C champions of Mayo. They had to win on Sunday to make sure of it but Castlebar B's no-show made the task a little easier. So what unfolded was the lowest scoring win of all time. Lower than the 13-second game in Derry. Lower than the Donegal final even.
Final scores Shrule/Glencorrib 0-1 Castlebar B 0-0
And that was it. Take your points, your goals will come. No need for risk-taking or faffing around. Job done. League champions. And the crowd loved it in fairness to them.
