Ballina shock Breaffy but Ballintubber march on

Last year’s beaten finalists Breaffy crashed out of the Mayo SFC over the weekend as the four semi-finalists in this season’s competition were decided. Defending champions Ballintubber will take on Ballina Stephenites while Castlebar Mitchels will meet Ballaghaderreen in the last four games which will be played on the weekend of October 5/6.

But it was Ballina’s shock extra-time win over a Breaffy team that contained Aidan and Seamus O’Shea, as well as their Mayo team-mates Matthew Ruane and Rob Hennelly, that was the talk of the county on Saturday night.
