For the first time in the history of St Brendan's N.S. Myna, the team of lads representing their school, teachers and the community, were crowned Cumann na mBunscol County Champions for 2017. Serving up a feast of football that would do justice to any team their senior, they recovered in great style from a half-time deficit of 8 points to take the title. Playing into a strong wind in the first half, against a determined Bekan side, the half-time deficit of 8 points seemed insurmountable. Led by team captain Darragh Slattery, they tackled this shortfall in the second half with a coolness and focus that did justice to their excellent win to the delight of the home support.
Well done to all involved.
St Brendan's 2 - 11 3 - 06 Bekan

The annual Kilmeena U10 blitz, sponsored by the Golden family Carrowholly took place today Saturday 17th June. In dry but overcast conditions the pitch and facilities looked immaculate. Twenty nine teams from West Mayo turned up on the day and within the region of 300 boys and girls taking part, it was a festival of football.
Six teams took part in the A competition. Castlebar immerged from Group one and Parke from Group 2 to contest the final. Castlebar just about got the better of Parke by a scoreline of 4 - 4 to 2 - 6.
In the B Section, 8 teams contested and with some very close games it proved a very competitive group, Westport B and Castlebar B contested the final, Westport just about doing enough to win by 5 - 5 to 5 - 3.
Section C again brought 8 teams together Parke B and Kilmeena B through to the final. Parke B were just too strong for a gallant home team claiming the shield 6 - 3 to 1-3.
The girls group had 7 teams registered on the day. Lots of good football in both groups but Westport and Ballintubber fought their way to the final. The huge work being put into ladies football is paying off and a very strong Westport girls team took the spoils 6 - 3 to 1 - 4.
A huge community effort saw the Paddy Golden U10 blitz run very smoothly and efficiently again this year.
Forty five games and the presentations were completed by 2:30pm, well-done to all.
Report by Joe Sheridan.
Westport; winners over Ballintubber in the ladies competition.
Castlebar; A section winners.
B Section winners Westport.
Section C winners Parke.
