Last Sunday in Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon, Killala captain Karl Dooher clutched the Frank Reynolds Memorial cup after the north Mayo men blew away the Roscommon champions by ten points. For the second time in three years Killala were crowned junior champions of Connacht to round off a successful year for the men from north Mayo. Marcus Hannick was the top scorer on the day finishing off with five points, all from placed balls, while James Ruddy grabbed their goal 21 minutes into the contest after some neat build up play which put them into a six-point lead, one which they never looked like loosing. Rory Hannick picked up the man of the match award for his tireless display in the engine room alongside Noel Ryan on an afternoon which was not designed for football in deep winter but that will be of little concern to the men from Killala who now have an All Ireland semi-final to look forward to in the new year.

The notification of Eircom that it intends to remove 13 phone boxes in the Ballina area sparked anger among the majority of the members of Ballina electoral area committee this week. The boxes will be removed from areas in Crossmolina, Ballycastle, Ballina town, Killala, and Bonniconlon. Fine Gael Cllr Michelle Mulherin told the meeting: “I’m completely opposed to the removal of the phone kiosks. This is a retrograde step by Eircom, there are people who don’t have mobile phones and use them, what good is there putting a sign on a phone box in Bonniconlon, Killala, or Crossmolina telling them this one is going and the nearest one to them is in Ballina town?”
