Mayo Women's Masters League 2026/27 kicks off

THE 2026/27 Mayo Women's Masters League got off to a good start on Tuesday evening under floodlights at Celtic Park, Castlebar.

Snugboro and Ballyglass saw wins for both of their A teams in Division 1, Ballina Town had a winning start to the league in Division 2, while masters debutants Ballyheane and Killala both suffered defeat in their first Division 3 fixtures.

Thelma Feeney accounted for both Snugboro A goals in their 2-0 win over Straide & Foxford in Division 1 - the Moysiders making their first appearance at the masters grade.

Ballyglass A enjoyed a 3-0 win over Kilmore, although it took until the second half for the goals to come courtesy of Cora Staunton (two) and Deirdre Joyce.

In Division 2, Ballyvary and Castlebar Town drew 1-1, with Gloria Evans rescuing a point for the Bombers with a goal three minutes from full-time. Elizabeth Gallagher registered Town's first ever masters goal.

Ballina Town scored the first goal in their match on seven minutes, with Westport equalising before half-time. The winner came on 25 minutes. Sheila Garvin was on the scoreboard with both goals for the north Mayo side.

In Division 3, Castlebar Celtic were six-goal winners over Killala, with Regina Byrne accounting for four of her side's goals in a 1-7 win.

And it was a closer affair between Ballyheane and Snugboro B, where Linda Coyne put 'Boro ahead from the penalty spot and Cathriona Roughneen also on the score sheet. Mary Irwin pulled one back for 'Heane with nine minutes left but saw her side lose out 1-2.
