Come this time of the season, the win is all that matters and that's exactly what Ballintubber and Ballaghaderreen both delivered in Elvery's McHale Park on Sunday afternoon.

It has been a remarkable few years for Ballintubber, escaping with the intermediate title by the skin of their teeth in 2007 and going on to put together back to back senior titles in 2010 and 2011. This year, they are looking to make it three senior titles in a row.

In the intermediate championship in group one Swinford topped the group thanks to a 1-11 to 0-9 win over Parke, in Parke on Sunday afternoon. But it wasn't all bad news for the home side who still managed to make it into the last eight. Parke had previously beaten Ballyhaunis and drew with Kiltimagh leaving them on three points. Behind them in the table was Ballyhaunis on two points from their win over Swinford in round two, having already lost to Parke in round one and Kiltimagh who had only a point to show for their two games from their draw with Parke in round two. On Sunday, Ballyhaunis and Kiltimagh played out a 2-5 to 1-8 draw in Ballyhaunis. Which left the home side level on points with Parke and with a better scoring difference, but with places being decided on head-to-head results rather than scoring difference when two sides were tied on points, its the west Mayo side who went through to the last eight.
