Bar three catch up games that took place last night after this paper went to print, it’s all about knock-out cup and shield action this weekend in Mayo — the Connacht Gold Cup and Shield to be precise. The catch up games that took place last night included what potentially looked like a cracker of a game between Claremorris and Castlebar Celtic in Concannon Park in the Super League. The game is one of two that Celtic have in hand over league leaders Westport United who they are trying to chase down — and if they manage to pick up wins in both they will close the gap at the top to seven points.

There will be plenty of excitement building through the towns and villages from Bohola to Foxford and all the townlands in between with the news that Moy Davitts will take part in the new series of Celebrity Banisteoir.

The divisions and rivalries were put aside across Mayo this week as the tragic news of the death of former Swinford and Castlebar Celtic player Gary Price filtered through the county. Price rose through the youths ranks at Swinford, before moving to Castlebar Celtic where he was part of the 2007 FAI Youth Cup winning side. Tributes and condolences were paid from all involved in soccer in Mayo to Price and his family during this trying time. As a mark of respect the Mayo FA has postponed all games involving his former clubs Swinford and Castlebar Celtic in the Mayo league this weekend, and have asked for a minutes silence to be observed before all games this weekend in tribute to Gary.

The best of the Mayo League will be going up against the best that the League of Ireland has to offer this spring after the league accepted an invitation from the FAI to enter the league cup this season. The Mayo League will be the only junior team in the competition. Mayo League chairman Padraic McHale said on the announcement that he was “delighted to receive the invitation, and would be a further stepping stone for many of our players, to play in a higher grade of football”.

Earlier this week the Mayo League announced the five recipients of the 2011/2012 third level scholarships. This initiative which is a first for the Mayo League is something that it hopes to expand in the coming years. The five recipients were Gerry Cunningham (Westport United), John Hutton (Claremorris), Owen McNamara (Conn Rangers), Chris Rowland (Castlebar Celtic), and Gerry Sweeney (Bangor Hibs). The five players will be presented with a cheque for their first instalment of the grant and a specially designed certificate at Milebush Park on Saturday, January 28 at 6.30pm. The Mayo League also thanked all those who applied for the scholarship and Arcon Recruitment, Castlebar, which carried out the interviews on all applicants on behalf of the Mayo League.
