Defending champions Ballintubber began their bid to win three successive Mayo SFC titles with a disappointing draw at home to Aghamore on Saturday evening.

A late goal from Aghamore substitute James McNeive denied the holders a winning start in this year’s competition with the game finishing 1-4 to 0-7, while a straight red card for star forward, Cillian O’Connor, compounded the home side’s woes.
