Small piece at the end of the Cross report

Looks like West Mayo won't be competing in the championship next year...

http://www.midwestradio.ie/mwr/sport/224-paddy-mcnicholas-elected-new-chairman-of-mayo-county-board.html

PADDY MCNICHOLAS FROM KILTIMAGH WAS LAST NIGHT ELECTED AS THE NEW CHAIRMAN OF THE MAYO COUNTY BOARD.

PADDY TAKES OVER FROM JAMES WALDRON WHO STEPPED ASIDE DUE TO THE FIVE YEAR RULE.
MIKE CONNOLLY FROM HOLLYMOUNT WAS ELECTED VICE-CHAIRMAN.

EDDIE CUFFE WAS ELECTED ASSISTANT TREASURER UNOPPOSED WHILE VINCENT NEARY GOT THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY'S POSITION.

AIDAN MCLOUGHLIN FROM SWINFORD WAS APPOINTED THE NEW PRO TAKING OVER FROM KEVIN O'TOOLE WHO ALSO STEPPED DOWN DUE TO THE FIVE YEAR RULE.

ONE OTHER INTERESTING POINT TO NOTE WAS THE FACT THAT THE MOTION TO INCLUDE WEST MAYO IN NEXT YEAR'S MAYO SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP WAS DEFEATED DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY COMPETED THERE THIS YEAR.

I have fancied Ballintubber from the start (pity I didn't take them at 14/1  ) so I'll stick with them. I was reading in the Mayo News that they have only lost two games in the last two years which is unbelievable consistency. Given Ballintubber's negative style I don't expect it to be a classic (pity as it's live on TG4!) and expect them to sneak a low scoring pig of a game.

Senior Final
October 24th
Ballintubber v Castlebar

James Horan confirmed. Best of luck to him

Care to divulge? James Nallen is the name that has been mentioned here. It's been kept very quiet.

Yes James Nallen is one that has already been mentioned here but to be fair to the other two individuals I won't name them publically encase it's not true. I sent you a PM Tubberman.

[Declan Ronaldson]

It will be Tommy Lyons with Denis Kearney and Declan Ronaldson  .

F*ck no! I had the "pleasure" of being managed by him for two years and he ain't up to much!

I also heard James Horan's proposed backroom trio, a bit underwhelmed to be honest.

There is a county board meeting tomorrow night with only one item on the agenda...

Appointment of Mayo Senior Team manager

I guess we'll have white smoke sometime tomorrow night. I'm sure there will be a few leaks before then as to who they are putting forward for ratification.

Outright odds from Paddy Power...

Abbeysider or Tubberman can either of you confirm or contradict this? I was talking with a friend of mine from Clare yesterday. He was asking who I'd like to see as Mayo manager, I named a few including James Horan. He reckoned Horan is involved with the Clare team along with Liam McHale?

Are all the fixtures brought forward by a week?
What date are the Semi and Final?

Sounds like you're planning to be there for both AbbeySider?!?!?!
