We have been drawn in the same group as Ardmoy and Balla in the Mayo U21 C championship. We were previously drawn with Ardmoy, Balla and Eastern Gaels, but Eastern Gaels have been moved to a new group in a revised draw. More details on dates and venues to follow.

Our junior team commence their South Mayo JFC campaign on Wednesday night next, May 29, at home (Flanagan Park) to Davitts (8o’c). Referee to be confirmed. There are likely to be games over the following five Wednesday nights, but fixtures have not yet been fully finalised. The draw was made last night.

Ger behind the lads in their Mayo SFC first round clash with Garrymore, this Saturday (May 25th) in Garrymore, at 5.30pm. This is a very important game for the club and all support is needed to help us get two points from the encounter. There will be a Club Barbecue afterwards in McGreal’s Bar, Abbey Street, starting at 7.45.

From RTE to Mayo GAA: Many thanks for your help with this, as mentioned on the phone we’re doing our new nightly 2FM show Game On live from the Promenade Suite of the Salthill Hotel in Galway next Thursday (16th).We’re going to have some Galway and Mayo legends (Names TBC) to chat about the history between the counties and look ahead to the opening game of the Connacht Championship. We’re going to have a few other bits and pieces lined up as well but the show will be mainly GAA based. We’re looking to invite a couple of fans 20/25 from each county along to add to the atmosphere on the evening. We’re going to be live on 2FM from 7pm to 8pm on the night so people are more than welcome to pop along from 6:15-6:30pm onwards If they need any details or want to make contact with us the email address for the show isgameon@rte.ie All the best, Damien

Here’s the latest edition of INTO THE WEST, the magazine of the Connacht GAA Council.  

Our County Cup semi-final versus Breaffy takes place this Sunday at 12noon – but in Ballindine, and not Claremorris as previously advertised. Initially, the game was scheduled for 2.30pm, but has been changed to facilitate those attending the wedding of our former defender Paul Finnerty and his Breaffy wife-to-be Louise Conway, so it’s a real Ballinrobe-Breaffy day. Referee is John Walker. We are in the County Cup semi-final by virtue of our O’Mara Cup final win. Breaffy won the Kelly Cup in west Mayo.  

John Bradley is one of the chief organisers of a Table Quiz in aid of Special Olympics on Thursday week, May 9, in Costello’s Bar, Abbey Street, Ballinrobe. John and his quiz cohorts are great supporters of our quizzes, our weekly Lotto, and, indeed, our club teams. So we are urging  club members to turn out in large numbers to support their quiz.
