Cill tSeadhna 0-05
The Mayo GAA Comórtas junior final was a tense and keenly contested encounter with local rivals Cill tSeadhna and Cill Chomáin pushing hard for victory from early on. Cill tSeadhna dominated the opening half and with the aide of a strong breeze they had three points to spare at the break 0-05 to 0-02. Barry McAndrew was their key players during this period hitting four points with the other score coming from Stephen Gallagher.
The blustery breeze was difficult to play against but Cill Chomáin did manage two fine scores in the opening half from James McAndrew and Derek Moran. The second half was hip and tuck all the way. Cill tSeadhna batted down the hatches against the breeze and were unlucky not to score a goal early on but Michéal Ó Moráin was alert and cleared his lines. Once Cill Chomáin got the score board ticking over, they never looked back. McAndrew was superb i lár na pairce and landed a great point with Brendan Moran coming off the bench to level the sides 0-05 a piece.
The final quarter was hectic with both sides desperate for scores. Cill Chomáin however, had the edge now and with the strong breeze helping every attack they soon took control. McAndrew drove at Cill tSeadhna at every occasion and his fine individual goal with five to play was the crucial score.
