Ballaghaderreen 1-09 Ballintubber 0-04

Ballaghadereen are the new Mayo SFC champions after dethroning last year’s winners Ballintubber by 1-9 to 0-4 in Castlebar this afternoon.

Galway’s All-Ireland U21-winning midfielder Fiontain Ó Curraoin has been named in the side for the opening defence of their crown in tomorrow night’s Cadbury’s Connacht U21FC quarter-final against Mayo in McHale Park but remains a major doubt due to an ankle injury.

IT was a match where they were strongly challenged, but during the critical closing phase Armagh produced the goods to swing yesterday’s ESB All-Ireland MFC final at Croke Park in their direction.

RAY CAREY was last night named in the Cork side for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC decider against Kerry, despite remaining an injury doubt due to a shoulder injury incurred in training.

TWELVE months after they were visited by heartbreak in the national decider, Mayo’s minor footballers established a platform for revenge after claiming the scalp of Down in yesterday’s ESB All-Ireland MFC semi-final in Croke Park.

Down 0-9 Mayo 2-9

IN the 10 years since the first ceasefire, over two dozen mostly young men from nationalist areas of the North were murdered by the IRA.

Gardai have named the man shot dead in South Armagh today.
