Bangor Hibs recorded only their second home league win of the season on Sunday with a deserved victory at home to Ballyglass, ending the visitors' hopes of promotion to the Super League in the process. In fact, you could say it knocked Ballyglass for six, because in pushing the visitors into sixth place in the table it also relegated them, thanks to the restructuring of the league for next season. For Bangor, the win has set up a playoff for fourth place in the division against Clew Bay United, a game that will be played in Manulla next Sunday. The winners will stay in the premier; the losers will also be relegated (yes, from fifth place in the table).

Consultation and communication appear to be two of the major skills newly appointed Mayo senior team manager James Horan will bring to the table as one of the best kept secrets within Mayo GAA circles was finally revealed with his appointment.
The 36-year-old Ballina Beverages employee, who was born in New Zealand but is a Ballintubber man to the core, agreed a three-year term to be reviewed annually. His appointment brings to an end another saga in Mayo football following the resignation of John O'Mahony after Mayo's defeat to Longford in the championship, ending months of speculation about his replacement.

Breaffy recorded a good away win over intermediate finalists Tourmakeady in Tourmakeady on Sunday. Leading by 0-6 to 0-4 at the interval, Breaffy went on to add five more points to their total after the break while their opponents could only manage two. Tourmakeady, who were without a number of their starting 15, will nevertheless have to brush up on their shooting (shot 15 wides) if they hope to trouble Burrishoole in the intermediate final on Sunday week.
