Is this Mayo team expected to be up to much, though?

Perhaps not but it means westport gave some of the best young talent in the county

Whatever about Horan coming in, Holmes is living in Westport and has his lads playing with the club. Westport going very well at underage the last 10 years or so and this from a town that was always seen as a soccer stronghold.

Soccer stronghold In Mayo terms. There's not even a semblance of a soccer stronghold in Mayo nationally though. This current Mayo team and the fanfare around them will almost certainly ensure Mayo remains one of the most uniquely one sport counties going, like KK with hurling or Wicklow with Rugby

What are you trying to say here?

Westport won a FAI junior cup in mid noughties, was a soccer first town for most young lads as I was growing up and few players getting on county underage teams etc. As Mayo's third largest town I can only recall James Gill and Charlie Lambert making county teams. Tomás Tierney doesn't count.  :)

Fair dues to those who rescued Westport from what was a gas desert, 5 starters on a championship is normally the reserve  of clubs in county towns

You could add Mick Higgins and Conor Dever to that list.  Brian Kilkenny and Martin Connolly would be in the same boat as Tierney.  Connolly would however get a lot of credit locally for all the work he would be putting into Gaelic Football at Rice College for the best part of 30 years.

Best of luck to the Mayo u20s later today. Interesting no Claremorris player named to start.
Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

You don't know much about Wesport to say this. It'd be like typing that Toreen is a hurling stronghold only in Mayo terms with a straight face, or that Four Roads was here. Boyle has suffered from much the same problems because of soccer as Wesport has.

A lot lot more county men came from Boyle than Westport in fairness
