The 2014 Junior Championship was a campaign of "what might have been" for Kilmeena GAA as successive one point losses leave us facing a relegation play-off rather than challenging for trophies and promotion to a higher level of football.
Despite performing well in our three championship fixtures, the team could not convert their positive displays into victories.
So on Sunday, after a campaign of "must win" games, we face another must win game. Kilmeena will take on Ballina Stephenites in a relegation play off to maintain our Junior status. The team will be pushing hard to get the win needed and, as always, your support could make all the difference.
Please come and shout for your team, who have been playing well and will now be aiming to complete the job and secure victory and our Junior Championship status.

Clinical Kilmeena advance against Carras in the U16 3B Championship played in St Brendan's Park Kilmeena yesterday evening.
Kilmeena 5 - 12 1 - 10 Carras
Kilmeena under 16 team continued their winning streak with a comprehensive victory over Carras last Tuesday evening at St Brendan's Sports Park. Kilmeena played some excellent periods of football and supported each other to great effect. Carras battled hard but were unable to cope with the attacking force of the county league champions. Kilmeena are now top of the table and play Shrule Glencorrib next Tuesday evening in the final round of the competition. It was a proud evening for our superb footballer Adam Heffron who captained the team to victory. Well done lads. Keep up the excellent attitude and we have no doubt that the squad is in for an exciting Summer.
Well done again, Mickey, Neil and Rory

Mayo GAA Junior Football Championship - Group 3
As expected, Achill won the group with a resounding win over Ballaghaderreen. Kilmeena needed to beat Charlestown to have any hopes of progression in the competition or, at least, avoid a relegation play-off.
Despite a large amount of possession and leading at half-time, Kilmeena were unable to hold on to their lead and secure a vital victory.
Again, we lost by the narrowest of margins, Charlestown 0-12 Kilmeena 0-11.
So three defeats in the Championship that could have been victories. We now face a relegation play-off to maintain Junior Championship status.
Kilmeena 0 - 11 0 - 12 Charlestown
