Mayo 2-5

Shauna Howley's last-second point sealed Mayo's second championship victory over Galway last Saturday in Pearse Stadium in Salthill and booked Michael Moyles' side a place in the final four of the All Ireland series for the third year in a row. They will be testing their mettle against Kerry in Semple Stadium on Saturday week in a repeat of last year's semi-final, where the Kingdom emerged victorious.

Mayo 0-10

Small margins are all that have separated Mayo from having some points on the board after their first three outings in the LGFA National Football League.

They'll be hopeful of building bonfires in Burrishoole again in a few weeks to welcome home the Connacht Senior champions, after Colm McMananamon's side booked their place in the provincial showpiece following a 0-15 to 2-6 win over Glencar-Manorhamilton on Bank Holiday Monday in McGovern Park.

They may have four of their top forwards on the other side of the world but Mayo turned in a really impressive display in Swinford to win their first points of the Lidl National Football League against Maxi Curran’s Donegal.

Mayo Community Games is a very proud voluntary body which has made a huge contribution to the games since they were formed in 1973. Once you entered the Sports Ireland National Sports Campus in Dublin for the National Community Games May Festival it was very clear that Mayo was truly represented by the wonderful colour of flags and Mayo tracksuits everywhere. Mayo Community Games was involved in swimming, table tennis, futsal, marathon, mixed distance relay, gymnastics, quiz, and soccer. The Mayo participants' first visit to the campus yielded tremendous success with five sets of gold medals, three sets of silver, one set of bronze, and a set of fourth place medals. Eight individual medals were successfully secured with two gold, two bronze, and one fourth place making their way back to Mayo.

An air of excitement and anticipation is gathering in many households as teams and individuals from Mayo Community Games put their final preparations together for the forthcoming Community Games National Festival of Finals which take place in Athlone IT, over the next two weekends. This festival will host some 9,000 participants and the green and red of Mayo Community Games will be strongly represented with 286  competitors making the journey east to Athlone.
