Ballyheane go looking for the clean sweep

Soccer: Mayo League

Ballyheane will be looking to win it all this Sunday, when they go chasing the Calor Gas Super Cup title to go with their Super League crown and the Westaro Cup they claimed last week.

Ashley Stevenson's side were comprehensive winners in the Westaro Cup last weekend, seeing off Ballina Town 6-1 in Solar 21 Milebush Park.

Last weekend's Westaro Cup final was played in tough conditions and Ballina Town took the lead 25 minutes in when Steven Moyles drilled the ball home from a Jamie Cawley cross - but that was as good as it got for the north Mayo men as Ballyheane took control of the game and hit them for six without reply.

Nathan Reilly-Doyle levelled the game up after good build-up play by Ben Edeh and Michael Fahey got the ball to Reilly-Doyle to finish to the net. Fahey made it 2-1 heading home a Sean Kilcoyne free before the break to assert the control of the Quigley Park side on the contest.

It was 3-1 six minutes into the second half when Reilly-Doyle got his second of the day after he nipped in to skip the ball around the Ballina 'keeper and finish to the net. Sean Kilcoyne made it 4-1 when his corner carried on the breeze past everyone to the back of the net, Reilly-Doyle bagged his hat-trick from the penalty spot not long after Kilcoyne had been fouled. The final goal of the day went to Alan McHale who struck the ball home following good work by Edeh to set him up.

On Sunday the 'Heane will go looking for a historic treble when they face Westport United in the same venue at 1pm. United themselves are on the look-out for a new permanent manager after Mickey Feeney stepped away from the role in recent weeks after three years in charge of the side.

There are also Mayo sides in action in the fifth round of the Connacht FA Junior Cup this weekend with Castlebar Celtic away to Maree/Oranmore on Sunday afternoon at 2pm and Claremorris on the road to Colga on Saturday at 4pm.
