Kilmeena vs Mayo Gaels Kilmeena: 4 – 18 Mayo Gaels: 1 - 02 In the end, this was a comprehensive win for the Kilmeenaladies in this final Round encounter of the Memorial League. Winning at home against Mayo Gaels puts Kilmeena at the top of the group and through to a semi-final in two weeks’ time. One might expect an 8pm thrown in on 3rd July to provide bright calm weather conditions but no, mother nature insteaddished out a stiff westerly breeze with damp/grey conditions. With the wind at their backs, the visitors kept the contest competitive during the first half. Although the home side led at the short whistle, Mayo Gaels did create opportunities too during the opening thirty minutes. Kilmeena had the aid of the stiff breeze for the second half and the home side duly capitalised, scoring 3 – 11 in the process.

Aoife's homecoming The Parish of Kilmeena proudly welcomed home Aoife Keane, who returned in triumph as a double silver medallist from the Special Olympics Ireland Summer Games 2026 in 10 Pin Bowling, held in Dublin last weekend. The homecoming route, stretching from Michael Gavin's at Barley Hill to the White Gates and onto the Buckfield Inn, was lined with bonfires, flags, and fireworks as Aoife and her entourage received an emotional, deeply moving welcome, marked by resounding cheers from the gathered crowd. This was not Aoife's first experience of success at this level. In 2014, she represented Connacht at a competition in Limerick, where she claimed a Bronze Medal in 10 Pin Bowling. The medal presentation was conducted by renowned Irish international rugby player Keith Woods, with celebrated sports Keith Woods presenting Aoife with her Bronze Medal in 2014 broadcaster Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh also in attendance — a fitting stage for a remarkable young athlete. Aoife began her journey in bowling at the Castlebar Bowling Alley and also participated in bocce at the Leisure Centre in Westport, where her coaches first recognised her exceptional natural talent. Her dedication over the intervening years has been rewarded with selection to represent Connacht on the national stage. For the 2026 games, Aoife was once again selected to represent Connacht, with the selection process taking place earlier in the year across 12 venues to accommodate 12 different sporting events. The opening ceremony was performed by Ireland's President, Catherine Connolly, at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin, marking a prestigious occasion befitting Aoife's significant achievement in competing at this level. The legendary Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh with Aoife For her parents, Jim and Maureen, as well as her brothers Nicholas and James, and sister Tracie, this was a moment of immense and well-deserved pride. Aoife embodies the spirit of the Special Olympics Athlete Oath: "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." — a sentiment that speaks to us all. The Parish of Kilmeena stands firmly behind Aoife with enormous pride, and there is little doubt that the bonfires will burn again when she returns from future competitions. We wish her every continued success on the road ahead. more images from the homecoming...

Dear Club Children's Officer, I hope this email finds you well. As our underage competitions continue, I ask all clubs to remind coaches, parents, guardians and supporters of the behaviour expected at our games. A good sideline atmosphere is an important part of the GAA. Supporting your club and encouraging players add to the enjoyment and we do not want to lose that. However, it is important that everyone knows where the line is. In particular: Referees deserve respect at all times. Abusive dissent is not acceptable. Adults engaging negatively with underage players, supporters or members from the sideline is unacceptable. Coaches, mentors, parents and supporters should lead by example and help create a positive environment for all children taking part. Encourage, support and enjoy the game, but always be respectful of players, officials and fellow supporters. The vast majority of people attending our games do exactly that, and we thank them for it. This is simply a reminder that respect should always come first. We would also like to remind clubs that Silent Sidelines are in place for all ages ups to and including U14s. This initiative allows players to learn, play and make decisions for themselves in a positive environment. Attached is the Maintaining Good Practice and Behaviour booklet. This document outlines the standards of behaviour that we expect from all those involved in our games and provides useful guidance on creating a positive and respectful environment for our young players. Can all clubs please share this message, along with the attached booklet, with coaches, mentors, parents and supporters within your club.
