Good showing in cup and shield for Mayo teams. I would say Swinford for the shield and maybe Erris as outside bet for cup.

Erris for the cup? Are you on drugs?

Sorry to upset the Westport faithful, of course I meant Westport. Read it "outside bet", they seem to be playing well.

I was at the game,Castlebar were the better football side but they were not direct enough in my opinion,they had a big breeze at their backs in the 1st half yet never once used the long ball,West were very disciplined and solid and held there shape well,Castlebar took the lead in the 35th minute with a top class finish from their striker,their only shot on target in the 1st half despite having 70+% possession,2nd half West had the breeze and knew how to use it better,they were alot more direct and put the Castlebar defence under pressure from the start,West equalised from a corner after about an hour,last touch off Castlebar defender,Castlebar went back in front from the spot after 75min,terrible decision never a peno but the fact it was given the west defender should of walked,he was last man back,West equalised from another corner with 2 minutes remaining and struck for a matchwinner 7 min into injury time,don't know where ref got all the injury time from?West are nowhere near the level they were a few years back but they will still put it up to most teams if they have a full side!
