I think they will.

Atrocious day for football but the Eamon and Teresa Duffy Memorial Cup is being ran today and it promises to be a cracking day for the youngsters to display their footballing talents.

What did you think of the Castlebar Celtic game boys and girls??

Good game, fair result I reckon. Harsh red card. Westport could easily have had one too. One unbelievable goal, one decent goal and one lucky goal. Entertaining game overall.

Ruined by a poor ref. Port I would say disappointed not to earn a point. Great result for us after defended well once we went down to 10men for something only the ref saw.

I felt that Westport had the better of the first half, Celtic had the better of the second. Boyler's goal was a peach, Cam's equaliser was well taken but the winner was a bit poxy with the deflection. Celtic did things that bit quicker and sharper than Westport. Celtic were favourites for the game anyways and it is really their league to lose at this stage.

I thought it was the exact opposite. Celtic dominated in the first half while Westport saw the better of the second. Result was fair. Good to see the derby back in action anyways and hopefully we can kick on from here!

Boyler's goal was terrific

I agree, Utd controlled the first 10 min then it was all Celtic till they scored and then Utd took over till half time. Second half saw Celtic dominate and looked very dangerous on the break after we scored. Jamie had a great chance to kill the game of but hit the post. Once Alan was sent off for an offence only the Ref saw it was all Westport and they missed a couple of good half chances to level. With my green and white glasses on we just about shaded it but could not argue to strong if the game finished level. Roll June 5 for part two. Surprised not to see Niall Gallagher in goals but Utd young keeper has a bright future as do the other young lads used. Maybe we can coax him back

A brilliant win for Westport United against Celtic in the Sports Park in a game that saw some interesting challenges going in. The B team did the bizz last night too, so two cup finals to look forward to.

Well deserved win for Utd. They wanted it more. Very little football played on a small pitch. Hoban the class act and the difference between the teams. Lawless also was back to his best. Surprised Hoban did not start. Rather the three points than the final.

Westport fully deserve to be in the final. Horkan and Lawless were super, definetly the strongest backline in the county now, but what are Westport going to do with Geraghty?? They can hardly leave him on the bench. James O'Donnell is a class-act, created something nearly everytime he got the ball. The goalkeeper Cunningham was also very good, reliable and make a top class save near the end, could not say that about the Byrne for Celtic though as he just looked nervous when the ball came near him. Owens at right back was Celtics best player , he should be played on the wing in my opinion. Ioseph O Reilly was the only one who looked like scoring.

Big game tomorrow between the the two most famous sides in Mayo football. The 'Port needs to win to put pressure on Celtic, while the away victory will leave Celtic with only one more win to regain the Super League title. Should be an intruiging afternoon of football.

Congrats to goalkeeper, Conor O'Malley on getting called up to the Irish U.18 squad to play Wales in the forthcoming international friendly away in Bangor on August 3rd.
