The weekend could see things sorted out in section A if Killala and Kilmaine are able to pick up the points on the road leaving both sides to battle it out for top spot in the table on the final day. Last year’s beaten finalists gave Tourmakeady a 10-point trimming in the first round, while Killala had enough to hold of Hollymount by two points in their first game. This weekend sees Killala make their way to Tourmakeady for a do or die battle for the Gaeltacht men. Tourmakeady would have fancied their chances of coming out of Kilmaine with some points on the board last time out and came home with their tail between their legs, so they will be all guns blazing on Saturday to take the points. Despite having a win in the bag already, Tourmakeady should take this one.

For the past six weeks a group of 15 or so swimmers from around south Mayo have been in serious training with the aim to be the first swimmers to swim the width of Lough Mask. The eight kilometres from Cushlough Bay Near Ballinrobe to Paddy’s Bar, Cappaduff, Tourmakeady, is the goal.

When the play off to decide who came out of the Belmullet, Davitts, and Swinford triple headache was drawn most would have expected the final berth in the last eight to be decided by the time the quarter finals of the competition rolled around. But that is not the case, Swinford managed to come through the first game and book their place, but there has been no separating Belmullet and Davitts over the last two weekends. One hundred and forty minutes of football have not been able to separate them so far and they must do it again on Sunday for a third time in Ballina, with Cill Chomain waiting patiently for the winners. Who will come through between Belmullet and Davitts is really a toss of a coin, both teams know each other inside and out by now and on Sunday you would expect someone to blink or make a mistake that could prove decisive.
