We appeal to everyone to make a final push to sell as many lines as possible before the cards are due back. Remember your efforts are for the club and ultimately you! Each team in each age category, both boys and girls teams, will endeavour to raise funds for the club by selling lines on sponsorship cards for their novel fundraising activities. The activities will be agreed by players and management of each team. The activities on the day will be varied and will be, above all else, fun - actual football may or may not be even played! It will be driven by each team and should only involve a hour or so of your time.

Congratulations to the 5th & 6th class girls from Myna NS who claimed a historic first West Mayo Mini 7's title on Friday 21st September 2018. The blitz was held at Kilmeena GAA grounds so you could say these girls had home advantage on a very windy day. In the qualifying round they played teams from Scoil Padraig, Lankill and Cornanool, coming out top of the group with 3 wins from 3 games. In the semi final they played their neighbours and last year's winners Newport NS. The victory was Myna's this time round with a scoreline of 4-3 to 1-1. Gaelscoil Na Cruaiche were the opposition for the final and the Myna girls displayed a great team effort to claim the title. Final score 4-1 to 2-3. They were cheered on all day by their classmates and Ms Kitterick. Mr Carney was absent and had to rely on texts and phone calls whilst concentrating at a conference. The team members were Patricia Moore, Laura O'Grady, Aoife Walshe, Lisa Hastings, Katie Moran, Amy Carney, Emma Barrett, Kayleigh Muldoon and Ruby McDonnell. Absent: Siofra Hughes.
