Mayo Women's Cup semi-finals night this Friday

THE semi-finals of the Mayo Women's Cup will be played this Friday evening, August 30, with Castlebar Town hosting Crossmolina and Manulla taking a trip over to Kiltimagh Knock United.

Manulla earned their place in the semi-final with a 3-0 win over Swinford last Friday evening. They showed they are intent on retaining their title early on, with two goals in the first 10 minutes via Niamh Flannery and Sadhbh Larkin, with Hannah Prendergast tacking on the third on 63 minutes.

Friday evening's only league game saw Kilmore hit Killala for four in Division One. Molly Boylan was on the score sheet in both halves, with goals also from Roisin Greene (72 minutes) and Leanne Heneghan on the stroke of full-time.

In a rare Thursday evening fixture, Westport United were 5-2 winners away to Ballina Town. Saoirse Byrne recorded a hat-trick for the winners, with Sinead Hughes Loftus netting twice. Ballina battled to get something from the game, with goals from Kayla Salami and Ana Oliveira.

Two Division One games were also played this Monday, with Ballinrobe overcoming Claremorris 3-1 and Kilmore notching up a similar scoreline away to Crossmolina.
