Breaffy end Westport's Mayo title hopes

Breaffy are through to the semi-finals of of the Mayo senior football championship.

The side, managed by Peter Forde, scored a one-point victory over fancied Westport in a dramatic clash at Elverys MacHale Park tonight, the final score being 0-11 to 0-10, a converted late free by Robert Hennelly proving decisive.

Breaffy imposed their authority from an early stage and held the edge throughout against a spirited Westport side coached by James Horan, who is widely tipped to be the next Mayo manager.

Westport missed a late opportunity to draw level which, in fairness, their efforts woudl have deserved.
