Replying To yew_tree:  "Some scoring in Claremorris last night.

Claremorris 1-28
Westport 6-11

Entertaining from start to finish. Hurley from Claremorris and the Holmes brother for Westport will likely be getting a look by Mayo management."
One for the record books, last time a team scored 6 goals and still lost.

Especially when their opponents only scored 1. Remarkable stuff. I've seen it in hurling, but can't recall a senior adult football match where that occurred.

Both Westport and Claremorris have been touted as the coming teams in Mayo for a while and that result hasnt changed that other than this was the first time that Claremorris showed they are more than just a team of promise.

The Hurleys and Holmes have been ripping it up at underage for a few years.

Ben Holmes has all the ability to be a series intercounty full forward and wont be far away from a Mayo senior squad next year. Not far off the Kobe bracket in fielding and scoring ability.
