By Billy Horan, Club PRO Ballaghaderreen pipped visiting Ballinrobe by two points – 2-12 to 2-10 – in the opening round of the JJ Burke Renault Mayo U16 D football championship, section two, last week. The home side was in front by 1-6 to 0-4 at half-time, but Ballinrobe made more of an impact after play resumed. Goals by Ross Philbin and Evan O’Brien helped to fashion an advantage of 2-10 to 1-9 by the 45th minute. Ballaghaderreen, however, responded resolutely to the challenge and the necessary scores emerged in an exciting finish to claim victory. Figuring with distinction for Ballinrobe were Evan O’Brien, Padraig Og Horan, Christopher Vahey, Kieran Finnerty, Evan Reaney, Evan Gannon and Ross Philbin. Ballinrobe scorers: E O’Brien (1-4), P Og Horan (0-4); R Philbin (1-0), K Finnerty (0-1), O Hanlon (0-1), Ballinrobe: D Lynagh; E Sheridan, C Vahey, E Reaney; E Langan, O O’Malley (captain), E Gannon; R Philbin, P Og Horan; L Burke, E O’Brien, K Finnerty; R Jennings, O Hanlon, D Joyce.

Our attacker Kevin Quinn has been named as a substitute on the Mayo minor team for today’s Connacht minor football championship clash with Galway in McHale Park, Castlebar, at 6.30pm. We wish Kevin all the best, and hopefully he will make an appearance at some stage during the encounter. He follows in the footsteps of his brother James, who played for Mayo minors in Croke Park a few years ago, including the day Mayo defeated the then All-Ireland champions Tipperary. Kevin is a nephew of current Mayo joint manager Noel Connelly, who captained Mayo in the 1996 and 1997 All-Ireland football finals. He also captained Mayo to win the 2001 National League title, just reward for a man who was one of the leaders of a fine Mayo team for the preceding five years.
Good luck to Kevin Quinn and Mayo minors Read More »
Update, Sunday, June 28: The full video of coverage is now available HERE LINK for live streaming (starts 6.20pm Saturday, for 6.30pm throw-in): http://ustre.am/1oM2v The Broadcast Team The Man on the Video: Micheal Keane. Shoots as fast as he played. The brains behind this operation. Commentator: Liam Horan. Talks better than he played. Even better. Ballinrobe Analyst: Padraic Costello Snr. Needs no introduction. But will get one all the same. The veterans’ veteran, the straight talkers’ straight talker. Never needed an iPad to make his point, doesn’t now. Played in every position for Ballinrobe. Intermediate championship winner in 1979, junior winner in 1990, wore the green and red (and we don’t mean Ballina or Kilmaine) too. Aghamore Analyst: Adrian Hession, a man with strong local connections, indeed; might even be half a Ballinrobe man really. Best known as Mr Hurling Promotion in Mayo, plays in goal for Tooreen, and has donned the red and white of Aghamore too. We hope he won’t be over-awed by P Cos. News from earlier in the week: Our intrepid former player Micheál Keane (recently retired from playing duties after a stellar career, and now serving as PRO of our Bord na nOg section) has been experimenting of late with his video camera – and we can now confirm that Saturday’s Mayo SFC round three clash with Aghamore will be streamed live on the net. Thanks to the county board for giving us permission to stream the game live, and we are also encouraging our friends in Aghamore to spread the word among their supporters as well. More anon. Full commentary will also be provided by Liam Horan. (First sub, a young lad called Mike Finnerty hoping to get a bit of experience). Match analyst Padraic Costello Snr (there was never a sub. who could fill his boots).
