Ballina Stephenites are, at last, back as county champions. They’ve more county titles than anyone else but before today their most recent Moclair Cup win was back in 2007. Having lost last year’s final to first-time winners Westport they went one better under the lights at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park today, edging out Breaffy in an extremely low-scoring decider that […]
Lahardane MacHales are this year’s Mayo Junior football champions. They got the better of Shrule/Glencorrib by 2-10 to 0-11 in this afternoon’s Pete McDonnell Cup decider. This was an entertaining contest between two well-matched sides. So well-matched, in fact, that they went in level, at five point apiece, at half-time. While the bulk of Lahardane’s scores had come from play, […]
When Kilmeena lost out to Kilmaine by a single point in the county Junior final of 2020, it would have taken some imagination to predict what was going to come next for the club.

From Colm Boyle we hear reaction to the news that Corofin’s Joe Canney has joined Kevin McStay’s management team. The split season, and issues relating to […]
Like last year, this year’s Moclair Cup decider will be a contest between the club that’s won the Senior county title more often than any other and a club that has yet to win it at all. Last year that meant a showdown between Ballina Stephenites and Westport and, while the Stephenites have made it back to a second successive […]
