Nation gushes over Andy Moran after he makes pulp of Dublin defence

What a half from the man

Patrick McCarry

Andy Moran wants this All-Ireland final like you won’t believe.

The Mayo forward has had one hell of a half against Dublin in the All-Ireland final.

Despite coming in for close attention from Jonny Cooper and Michael Fitzsimons, Moran has run amok. Service has been good but the veteran forward has crafted a few scoring chances off his own bat.

After a frenetic opening half, Moran had 0-3 and had played a part in two other Mayo scores.

Having ripped Kerry apart in the semi final and replay, many expected Dublin to shackle Moran but their defenders were finding it next to impossible to do so.

Needless to say, the praise for Moran was effusive:

Some going but Moran is far from done.
