While some of the pre-game narrative suggested Louth would dominate from kick-outs which would have a big bearing of the game, Mayo more than held their own – an area Moran felt “made a bit difference”.

But so too did the “talented boys in attack” that brought the Mayo support to life in a packed out Croke Park.

The swathes in green and red were singing long before the hooter sounded and for Moran, helping the county rediscover its voice after five years away from the semi-final stage is what objective number one for the year is but they want to go further.

“It’s just great to see Mayo people back in Croke Park supporting the team,” he added.

“A semi-final is for winning and to give yourself a chance to win the big prize in any competition.

“For us, we had an aim at the start of the year to get the Mayo crowd back supporting the team and I think that was answered today.”
