Over two days, four Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Hurling titles were decided in the home of Mayo GAA.

Undoubtedly inspired by the heroics of the Mayo Senior Hurlers’ terrific Nicky Rackard success last summer and indeed this year’s Christy Ring survival, MacHale Park bore witness to four brilliant finals.

Schools in traditional Mayo hurling strongholds such as Tooreen, Westport and Castlebar featured heavily as well as the ever emerging Cashel Gales, in our Division 1, 2 and 3 finals. It was wonderful also to see Manulla NS and Cloonlyon NS contest the Division 4 final, a testament to the development work going on in our schools under the stewardship of Adrian Hession.

Special mention must go to Aghamore and Manulla who were crowned double champions winning both football and hurling in their respective divisions. Aghamore also won our Sports Quiz last January!

Brilliant action in MacHale Park tonight as six new county champions are crowned

Bonfires will be burning from Aghamore to Ardagh tonight as some highly coveted silverware is ushered into its new home for the next twelve months.

Six Cumann na mBunscol Mhaigh Eo titles went up for grabs in the home of Mayo GAA and spectators were treated to a thrilling evening of outstanding sporting action.

Special mention must go Aghamore NS and Manulla NS who have both completed hurling and football doubles in their respective divisions. (Aghamore also won our quiz in January!)

Our next evening of finals takes place on Tuesday, June 13th. Fixtures will be posted here shortly.
