Cora Staunton believes Mayo will have to be more efficient in front of goal as the Championship heats up.

The Westerners narrowly defeated Louth by a single point on Sunday, two weeks after beating Kerry in Killarney.

But four-time All-Ireland winner Staunton believes her native county will need to be more ruthless in front of goal as the All-Ireland goes on.

She said on The Sunday Game: "I think this is probably a worry for Mayo going forward. They're creating a huge amount of opportunities and creating goal opportunities.

"You can see the first one here, Ryan O'Donoghue decides to fist it over the bar. Another long ball into Aidan O'Shea and he works the ball well, David McBrien is coming, there's another goal chance on there.

"This happened in the Kerry game. I think there was about four goal chances that went abegging in Fitzgerald Stadium.

"Again, we get another chance here, across to Aidan O'Shea, poor fist pass by James Carr once again. That's another chance that goes abegging and you can see just silly turnovers."

She added: "These things when Mayo play the biggest teams, it's really going to come against them."
