Where Westport in the now defunct Connaught Senior League, if so do you know of any honours won by your club in this league, and Connaught Senior Cup wins or final appearances. Have you reached any Connaught Junior Cup finals since your last win in 86/87 against West Utd (Galway) 2-1. Know your Mayo honours and Conn Junior Finals prior to 86/87.Appreciate any info you can give. Have book on Mayo League by Tom Kelly, 2nd oldest club in the province- 1889 formation. With long history has there been any publications on the history of Westport FC ?

Westport United were in the Connacht Senior League from 1988 to 1995. Won the Incentive Cup in 1989 and were beaten finalists in the Connacht Senior Cup in 1991. Best record in Connacht Cup since 1987 was a semi final appearance in 2003. All Westport United honours excluding the AIB Cup win of 2006 are posted on the Westport United thread. The only publication with the history of the club was the 75th anniversary publication in 1987. Officially founded as Westport Town in 1911 but there were clubs from 1889 until 1910, one game was a friendly against Bohemians on 2nd January 1906 and the game finished 1-1. There are some artefacts in the Clew Bay Heritage Centre at The Quay, Westport.

But around 68 was the foot in mouth in Britain, did it effect sport in Ireland as it did 5 years back as some leagues not completed in the north. The missing years in 30's could be 1. Fledgling Cup struggling to establish, 2. Possible as cup played on a regional basis could have been spread over 2 seasons. Did drop T. Kelly e-mail but no reply. OK would you be willing to sell Programme and what cost ? Know of all winners bar Gillooley Rangers do you know location ?

Gillooley Rangers were a Sligo town team, not around anymore.

In the Rovers club programme in the honours list has them down as winners in 1930 and 1978.

castlebar town what a teAM 1989 connaught cup champions currently in the lowest division in mayo football what a shame clubs like these never built on wins like that
