Major midsummer friendly for top Mayo football club

Westport United are playing a special 'midsummer friendly' against the Sligo Rovers first team this evening (Tuesday, July 8).

A good attendance is expected at Abbvie United Park for the match, which kicks off at 8 p.m.

Westport United have been in flying form of late in the Mayo Super League, while the Bit o' Red have been improving steadily in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division.

A number of former United underage players are Rovers first team regulars, among them Conor Walsh and Conor Reynolds.

This is a great chance to enjoy a summer evening of football with some top-class players on show. Don’t miss it! Admission is €5 and all are welcome.
