Last Saturday evening in a windy McHale Park, the Mayo minors opened up the championship account for the year with a comprehensive 10 point win over Leitrim setting up this Sunday’s semi-final against Galway. Speaking to the Mayo Advertiser this week ahead of the game, Mayo manger Enda Gilvarry looking back on the Leitrim game said, “It’s good to be up and running, we could have done better, but coming into any championship game you’d take a 10 point win.” He also pointed out that it was a hectic week for a number of his players last week. “It was a difficult week for some of the lads, who were coming off the Leaving Cert and then facing into club championship games the next day.”

The Galway minor footballers, under the guidance of team manager John Donnellan, face Mayo in the Connacht semi-final on Sunday (1.30pm) in Hyde Park.

The reality is that neither of these teams will be going too far in the 2009 county championship. Nevertheless that won’t stop them trying their damndest to take one more step forward at least.

So another year drifts by and the Galway senior footballers once again cannot make any real impression at the business end of the season on the inter-county championship.
