Well done St Pats.

I don't think we are at a disadvantage to other schools as the competition as I remember was that  Dalton was U14, Corn na Nog U15, Rannafast U16 and McRory U18 and a half.

It is brilliant that they won it this year as in other years when it was a boarding school they would have a much wider pick e.g. East Cavan (Kingscourt, Bailiboro), West Cavan (Glangevlin, Bawnboy) Lietrim and Monaghan.  So well done to all concerned.

Just back from wild,wet and windy Belmullet this evening. Match Result Mayo 0.11...Cavan 0.4. Never mind the result as Cavan actually played very well  and competed with a full strength Mayo side till both managers made the usual emptying  out the bench midway through the 2nd half. In particular the fullback line and half back line were as a defense unit were excellent and snuffed out the Mayo forwards.Mossy got the better of Aidan O'Shea and Martin Cahill had a great tussle with C.Mortimer.Dermot Sheridan and Paul Brady both had good games . Galligan and Cullivan were our midfielders on the evening  and worked hard. We lost because we could not handle the gale force wind with the result we were over hitting passes,kicked at least 7 wides in the first half and into the keepers hands . Out of our 4 scores one point came from play courtesy of Cian Mackey.
All in all it was a good work out for the team in terrible conditions. We were just as fit as Mayo and team work was excellent.  On the minus side  the final ball into the forward line was poor.

Fintan Reilly

Dermot Sheridan   Mossy Corr  Martin Cahill
Paul Brady          Eoin McGuigan  John McCutcheon

  CIARAN GALLIGAN......RAY CULLIVAN

D O'Dowd     Nesty Smith  Mark McKeever
Cian Mackey  Declan Mc Kiernan  Philip Brady

Flanagan was togged out but seemed to pull a muscle in the warm-up.  McKiernan went off with what looked like a hamstring  injury. Hope both will be OK for the Fermanagh game

[put-it-up]

Lads how has Phillip Brady found his way into the senior setup?

I know none of the new rules were in action at our club game over the weekend.. anybody witness them?

Cavan fail to challenge Mayo


Senior football challenge
Mayo 0-13
Cavan 0-4

Belmullet

THE MAYO senior football squad continued their preparations ahead of the upcoming Connacht championship with a facile nine point victory over a very disappointing Cavan in Saturday evening's challenge game at Belmullet GAA club's impressive, windswept, new €1.8m development.
John O'Mahony used the game to run the rule over 27 of his 30-man championship panel but will have learnt very little from a one-sided game which resembled a mediocre FBD League encounter.
Keith Higgins (rested after lining out the county hurlers earlier in the day), Trevor Mortimer (carrying a slight knock) and Alan Feeney (ankle injury) were the only Mayo players not to feature at some stage.
Tommy Carr's Cavan really failed to turn up and managed to score just one point from play in the entire 70 minutes. How they could have done with the injured Seanie Johnston, who was conspicuous by his absence, but on this evidence they have a lot of work to do before facing Fermanagh in the Ulster championship in four weeks time.
Mayo did what they had to do. Starting with ten of the side that started the National League Final against Cork, John O'Mahony used this match to give Peadar Gardiner and Tom Cunniffe run-outs for 35 minutes at numbers 5 and 6 respectively, and also took a look at Pat Harte and Billy Padden in the half-forward line.
Padden, playing on home soil, played the full 70 minutes, as did his club-mate Chris Barrett and Ger Cafferkey.
Despite playing against the crossfield wind in the first half, Mayo led at half-time by 0-6 to 0-2 as Conor Mortimer scored three frees, the very effective Enda Varley kicked two points from play, and Aidan O'Shea added another.
It took Cavan 33 minutes to register their first score, a free from Cian Mackey, and things didn't improve much for them in the second half.
Mayo built on their advantage through points from subs Andy Moran, Mark Ronaldson and Barry Moran, who again looked a real threat at full-forward after coming on to replace Aidan O'Shea.
Cavan never looked like making a game of it and Mayo indulged in some shooting practice late on as Aidan Kilcoyne fired over a free and Neil Douglas grabbed two points from play.
Kilcoyne also saw Mayo's only clear-cut goal chance well saved by Cavan goalkeeper Fintan Reilly as the game petered out. The winners also clocked up twelve wides as things got a little ragged in the closing stages.
Mayo's next challenge match comes against Dublin next Friday evening in Hollymount, and hopefully it will be a much better work-out ahead of that date with Sligo in three weeks time (June 5).

I know none of the new rules were in action at our club game over the weekend.. anybody witness them?

I thought it was amazing that Packie Smith just decided to not play the new rules as in his own words he hadn't had a chance to look at them yet!!!  Wouldn't mind we then missed a penalty from 13m in the first minute
Then the fooker was in a hurry to get away and only played a minute of injury time in the second half... I could have flatten him

Haha, poor Packie hadn't a clue what was goin on. You didn't get a penatly did you CM?

I think these new rules will cause a bit of bother locally. Like imagine the uproar when a goal is disallowed for being an old style fist pass! I would say a few Ballinagh fans could potentially get angry at a ref Most refs will just play away I would say

Aye we got a penalty after 40 seconds or so but have it saved and somehow managed to miss the rebound too... That really came back to haunt us
