Tyrone v Mayo LIVE score updates the sides go in level at half-time

After a dramatic day in the Championship yesterday, the final second round game of the weekend sees Tyrone host Mayo in Round 2A.

A place in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final is the prize for the winners.

The losers won’t exit the Championship, but they’ll have to navigate an additional game to make the last eight and head into tomorrow morning’s Round Three draw.

As Donegal have already played Kerry, the losers of today’s game would have a one in three chance of facing the Kingdom next weekend.

That alone, plus the extra week of rest and recovery, should be enough incentive for Tyrone and Mayo this afternoon.

Trying to predict which versions of each team we’ll see in Omagh is another matter.

The Red Hands finished fifth in Division Two, but they appear to have turned a corner in the Championship.

After taking Armagh to extra-time in the Ulster preliminary round, they defeated Connacht champions Roscommon in Dr Hyde Park in round one.

Mayo lost to Roscommon in Connacht before claiming a hard-fought one-point win over Monaghan last time out.

They’ll be AFL prospect Kobe McDonald can continue to impress while a lot of the pre-match focus will centre around whether or not Darragh Canavan will be added to the Tyrone squad having been named as a standby player on Friday.

Mayo, under the interim management of Stephen Rochford, were seven point winners over Tyrone at this venue in the 2025 Championship.

This is a real acid test for both teams to ascertain how much, if any, tangible progress they’ve made since last May.

We’ll have all the build-up and team news ahead of throw-in at 3.30pm.
