Lineup for historic cup final is confirmed

The players of Ballyvary Blue Bombers and Snugboro United following this week's semi-final clash in the Mayo Women's Masters Cup.

Ballyvary Blue Bombers and Claremorris AFC will go head to head in the first ever Mayo Women's Masters Cup final.

The Bombers got one over on Snugboro in their 1-0 semi-final win last Wednesday, with Claremorris seeing off the challenge of Kilmore 4-2 in the other semi-final.

Having lost to 'Boro in the league the week before, the Bombers edged a tightly fought game to secure their place in the final. Scoreless at half-time, Grace Lynch got the deciding goal on 27 minutes and the Bombers defence proved to be a fortress as anything Snugboro threw at them was repelled.

It was back and forth in the scoring in the other semi-final as Claremorris twice went in front only for Kilmore to peg them back. Goal number three on 27 minutes was followed up five minutes later by a second of the night for Emma Mullin as the south Mayo side progressed.

The final of the Hurst Heating & Plumbing Supplies sponsored competition will be played on March 3.

There was one league game last Wednesday also where Ballyglass ‘A’ ran out 5-0 winners over Castlebar Celtic in Division One.
