For a man who has been there for Kiltimagh’s highest of highs and their lowest ebbs, this Mayo junior ‘A’ title was a sweet one for Brian Gallagher.

The thoughts of Ballina Stephenites manager Niall Heffernan were, in his own words, very scrambled after his side had claimed a third Moclair Cup in-a-row. Given the most dramatic of finishes, he could be forgiven.

The final quarter was chaotic. Beautifully chaotic. It was the kind of chaos that separates a great county final from a poor one – wild, unfiltered, full of noise and nerve. Every ball felt like a live fuse, every break like a small explosion.

Despite his substitution because of injury in the early throes of last weekend’s Mayo SFC final, Westport have named Lee Keegan to start today’s replay of the Connacht Gold Mayo SFC Final.

Prior to Sunday, the previous four Mayo SFC finals were, for the most part, poor fare. Indeed, across the last two decades, there haven’t been many finals at all that would come close to the definition of classic.

Treanlaur Catering Mayo Junior Football Championship ‘A’ Final  Sunday, October 26  3pm in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park  Kiltimagh v Eastern Gaels  ...

Paul Groden has seen enough of the bad days to never take days like Sunday for granted. Kilmeena’s second intermediate title ever, in a three-year period, is a far cry from the first-half of his club career.

Eastern Gaels had an unblemished 2024 up until the semi-finals of the junior championship. They hadn’t lost a single game all year, which helped them win a first ever Mayo SFL (Division 3) title.

Mayo GAA have confirmed a change of referee for Saturday’s replay of the county senior football championship final. James Regan was to officiate over his first Mayo SFC final but has ruled himself out this afternoon because of an injury niggle.

Three Tooreen players made this season’s Champion 15 selection, which is a combination of the best hurlers from the Nicky Rackard, Christy Ring and Lory Meagher Cup competitions.

Ballina manager Niall Heffernan has hailed his midfielder Frank Irwin for his ice-cool two-pointer free with the last kick of Sunday’s county final to bring it to a replay.

As the large crowd left Quigabar last Sunday evening following a rip-roaring conclusion to the Sligo county final, all the chatter was about who was better placed heading into the replay.

The banks of the Carrowbeg were laden with emotion on the night of October 30, 2022 when Westport returned home with their first-ever Mayo Senior Football Championship.

What a difference a week makes. Or two. Saturday, September 28 just gone was a day from heaven as Eachléim’s Éigse flowed. A week later the county, the GAA calendar at least, was washed out and cancelled (correct decision by the way) by Storm Amy.

The trick isn’t playing well. It’s playing well late. Championships aren’t sprints; they’re long, messy auditions where the best sides spend half the season pretending not to care.

David Clarke’s club career with Ballina Stephenites has been more troughs than peaks so it is little wonder the two-time All Star goalkeeper is enjoying being part of a three-in-a-row chasing team.

“You know, there was a lot of hurt in the dressing-room from last year, to see what Crossmolina have done this year.

Sometimes you cannot beat a siege mentality.

Westport know a thing or two about dramatic county senior semi-finals. In 2005, they took Crossmolina to a replay after a tension-filled drawn game.

Now that was championship football. The Westport versus Crossmolina match had it all: big players, big match-ups, big moments and a big crowd.

Three minutes. That’s how close Mick Regan says Kiltimagh came to being ‘relegated’ to this year’s county junior ‘B’ football championship. Instead his team stands 60 minutes from promotion back to intermediate.

The Westport captain said her team decided they would “go down swinging” in the second-half of their county final victory against Knockmore and play with a sense of fearlessness after a poor showing in the opening half.

Parke-Keelogues-Crimlin GAA Club marked a historic milestone last Saturday week with the grand official opening of its state-of-the-art, floodlit all-weather football pitch and an adjoining scenic walkway.

Swinford-Killasser forward Regina Mullaney was full of praise for her teammates after the East Mayo side’s victory against Parke-Keelogues-Crimlin in Sunday’s Mayo LGFA Junior Championship final.

Claremorris manager Johnny Cummins was understandably in fantastic spirits as his side won the club’s first ever intermediate championship title on Sunday.

The chairperson of Mayo LGFA has described as “really special”, the fact that Hastings Insurance MacHale Park has been made available for this season’s Mayo LGFA Club Championship Finals.

It’s hard to beat good breeding. After all the talk, this was my first time getting a proper look at this much-vaunted Crossmolina team, and boy, did they deliver.
