Mayo Community Games competitors made the long journey to the South East Technological University in Carlow on Saturday last to compete in the ALDI National Community Games track and field finals. It certainly was a busy day with 28 track events taking place along with 14 field events.

The message circulating in the regions over the past four weeks was that Community Games certainly had made a welcome comeback for all to witness.

All roads led to Limerick for the 126 Mayo participants who took part in the Aldi National Community Games May Festival which was held in the University of Limerick.

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.
