The whirlwind nature of Mayo’s start to the GAA season continues on Sunday when Mayo take on Roscommon in Ballinlough at 2pm in their third game in ten days in the competition. A win for Mayo would send them into the competitions final which has been slated for Sunday week January 22 against the winners of the other group currently being led by Leitrim with two wins from two games and a draw against Sligo on Sunday would be enough to send last years FBD winners back into the final.

Mayo 2-8

The third round of the Breaffy House Senior Football League will take place across the top divisions of the league this weekend. At the top of division 1a after two rounds, Ballina Stephenites, Davitts, and Breaffy are all locked at the top with the maximum four points each after the two opening games. One of Breaffy or Ballina will lose their 100 per cent record this weekend when the sides meet in James Stephens Park on Sunday at 3.30pm. Last weekend Breaffy made it two from two against their neighbours with a come from behind win against Ballintubber at home. Tommy O’Reilly’s goal with a minute left in normal time was the critical score bringing his side back into the game, with fellow sub Liam Irwin levelling the game shortly after, before Alan Durcan won the game with a late, late free. The other talking point in the game was the return to action of Alan Dillon who came on as first half sub for Ballintubber and he will continue his return to full fitness this weekend against Charlestown.

Ballaghaderreen v Garrymore

The UNITE trade union and management at Aviva agreed this week that no redundancy notices will be served to any staff in Ireland until the final outline of the proposed company restructuring is clear. There are currently five people employed in the Castlebar branch of AVIVA.

Insurance company Aviva is to close its nationwide network of branches by next summer, with Castlebar being one of the branches affected.

The future of Galway’s Aviva operations, employing more than 200 people, is still uncertain with UNITE warning the contents of a leaked document outlining the company’s restructuring plans is, for the moment, “speculation”.

Jobs in Castlebar may be under threat following the announcement that Aviva is shedding almost 1,000 staff throughout its Irish and European operations, due to the merging of Aviva Ireland with Aviva UK and the restructuring of its European regional operations.

The 200 strong staff at Galway’s Aviva operations face an uncertain Christmas after the company announced 950 redundancies yesterday. Aviva employs more than 2,000 people at facilities in Galway, Dublin, and Cork, as well as 26 branches around the country, but no specific details relating to each location were disclosed. The redundancy programme will commence in March 2012 and could take up to two years.
