Tyrone vs Mayo LIVE score updates from All-Ireland SFC round two clash

It has been a remarkable seven days in the history of Tyrone football and they’ll want to keep that momentum rolling when they face Mayo in Omagh this evening.

Last Saturday night, Tyrone claimed a famous win over Donegal in Ballybofey. Not only was it the first time they’d beaten Jim McGuinness in Championship football, but they handed Donegal a first loss in MacCumhaill Park under his reign.

The following day, the Tyrone minors won the Ulster title at the expense of Cavan in Brewster Park before the Red Hands retained their All-Ireland U20 crown with a 14-point victory against Louth at the Box-It Athletic Grounds. It was Tyrone’s third title at the grade in four seasons.

A fifth All-Ireland title at senior level is the ultimate goal for Malachy O’Rourke, but he is still in the infancy of his three-year tenure and Tyrone will need to back up last Saturday’s display with another to prove they deserve to be considered as contenders for the Sam Maguire in 2025.

Mayo, on the other hand, have work to do to ensure they’re still in the Championship past the group stages after suffering a shock loss to Cavan in round one.

Another loss this evening would leave them needing a result against Donegal in round three, although Mayo have a habit of producing the good when their backs are against the wall.

We’ll have all the latest team news and build-up ahead of throw-in at 7pm.
