A solid Mayo side grabbed two valuable Allianz NHL Division 2A points thanks to this comfortable win over Roscommon at Athleague.
However the eventual winners did not have it all their own way.
Playing against a strong gale force wind in the opening half, they held an 0-08 to 0-06 interval lead, with Michael Kelly and Mervyn Connaughton keeping the hosts in touch.
Second half goals from midfielder Derek McConn and Enda Collins helped Mayo break free and see out the victory.
