Last weekend was a big one as far as the club championship was concerned. There were a number of games played that decided the make-up of the quarter finals in the senior championship. All went according to pre-game predictions, but a number of teams with ambitions of landing the county title really did give indications that they are going to take some beating. Ballina, Knockmore and Charlestown in particular had really impressive victories that caught the eye. We in Crossmolina found ourselves in a fairly precarious position with two draws from our two championship encounters going into last Sunday’s game, so we knew exactly what we had to do. We were therefore understandably happy with the way we played against Garrymore.

Playing for Life was founded by well-known sportswoman and broadcaster Tracy Piggott following a visit to Ethiopia in 2004. Tracy was determined to set up a project that would use sport as a tool to help young people in some of the world’s poorest places, since sport has always played such a huge part in her own life.
