Our Boys football team were invited to play at half time last Saturday at Mayo’s first league game of the year. We had eleven boys in total and despite the bitter cold, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly in front of a big crowd of almost 11,000. A great experience for all and thanks to Cumann na mBunscol for the opportunity to play.

We haven’t had a football archive for a while so here is our Girls team of 2010. In our group, we beat Belmullet, Behy and Scoil Íosa and then drew with Rehins. We faced Rehins again in the North Mayo Final and this time beat them comprehensively by 10-07 to 1-05 on an evening where everything just went right. We faced a very tough Ballindine team in the county semi-final and eventually overcame them by 4-05 to 2-07. This put us into our 8th County Final and it was the first time we reached two finals in the same year. The Final itself, in MacHale Park, was a rematch of the Mini Sevens County Final from earlier that year but unfortunately the result wasn’t the same. This was a day when almost everything went wrong for us and despite an improved second half performance we couldn’t score enough to catch Newport and lost by 2-11 to 3-01.
