See O Hora is named as a sub for Ballina they would hardly play him after last week?
Great to see reagan back to.
With him.back I'll change my prediction and say Ballina will edge it and Breaffy to win there's also.

I see Mikey Murray is named to start too and Dylan Thornton as a sub. I'll believe all of the above when I see it and I cannot see Sean Moffatt allowing POH to play. Would be great to see Regan back and firing though. I wasn't surprised to see Ballagh' come through last weekend, and I wouldn't be surprised - if they can create and take their chances - to see them come through tomorrow either.
Very few people are talking about Knockmore still, even after last weekend's result. Injuries or no injuries, they will be licking their lips at the prospect of taking out Breaffy.

Padraig wouldn’t be allowed play as minimum one week recovery period after diagnosed concussion under the concussion protocol. And that’s minimum, Padraig was out of it.

On the road:
Tourmakeady won Mayo & Connacht IFC in 2006-2007 and ended up relegated after 1 year in Senior but also 2 teams were actually relegated that year 2007 Tourmakeady and Westport.

Will be interesting to see how Knockmore get on with AOS tomorrow. They have 2 of the best men about in Kieran King and David Machale at the back.
It will be some battle.

Belmullet 5-5
Kilmeena 1-9 FT
Kilmeena got off the better start lead 3nil.
Belmullet look like having Fionn Ryan in the full forward in the first 10 minutes but they needed him back in the midfield and was excellent in his fielding and wasted no time in getting the ball long creating 2 goals in the first half. 2-2 0-4.
2nd half Ryan O’Donoghue scored a clean bottom corner goal and Ronan Murray finish the game with another top goal.
Jack Carney was kept frustrated by Evan Ivers and Ivers isn’t shy of being a teak tough man marker.
Belmullet
James Lavelle 0-1
Ryan O’Donoghue 1-3
Eamon McAndrew 1-0
Ronan Murray 2-0
Anthony Barrett 0-1
Evan Ivers 1-0
Kilmeena
John McGlynn 0-1
Keith Joyce 0-1
Darragh Keaveney 1-1
Darragh Slattery 0-2
Liam Moore 0-4

Looking at David Drake today you'd have to feel Mayo never got the most out of him but fair play to Sam and Frank they pulled Ballina back in to that game. Still hard to call.
