A former footballing stalwart and previous Chairman of Kilmeena GAA Club, making his way to his seat in the stand before the start of the County Junior final between Kilmeena and Kilmaine yesterday evening. Vincent must undoubtedly recall his playing days when he graced this very sod lining out for his Club and also, on the many occasions when he represented West Mayo against the other regions of the county. Below are images of Vincent in action against North Mayo and the legendary Joe Corcoran R.I.P. in 1967. Copyright images courtesy of the Liam Lyons Collection County Library Castlebar.

Kilmeena GAA and Kilmeena LGFA are currently working towards being awarded a “Healthy Club” status. Specifically, the Healthy Club Project is a GAA initiative aimed at encouraging clubs to contribute to the health and wellbeing of their members, and members of the wider community. To be successful in our quest we will be looking to implement a plan of action that offers our community a variety of opportunities to enhance our physical, social and emotional health. Already we are off to a great start with a number of initiatives either completed or underway. These include; - Mayo Day 10k your way - Irish Life Steps Challenge - Ladies exercise classes However, there’s so much more we can do to keep up the momentum and make sure that all members of the community can benefit. We would love to hear your ideas and suggestions, and will circulate a questionnaire amongst members in due course. Please take the time to complete it. A small group has been organised to get the project up and running, but it’s going to be a community effort to push us over the line to achieve “Healthy Club” status. So with this in mind let’s keep the club where it belongs - at the heart of our community 🖤🤍 #HealthyClub #20x20.ie

As I’m sure the people of Clifden would confirm, the weather during this week was exceptionally bad with very intense rainfall on Tuesday night & Wednesday morning. According to Met Eireann the rainfall accumulation between 00:30 and 8:30 at Newport Weather Station was over 35mm (Nearly an Inch and a half!). If our main pitch was currently in use, we would have expected a lot of water logging and that it would have been unplayable for a few days and been subject to cutting up when action resumed. Over the coming weeks we plan to complete the pitch works and believe the benefits of these works will prove worthwhile for many years to come. There has been extensive drainage works installed under the pitch. While the final works are not completed, the benefits from a drainage viewpoint can clearly be seen in the two pictures below. The first taken at 8:39am Wednesday morning, shows vast waterlogging, while the second picture taken less than four hours later shows no remaining surface water.
