Castlebar man to referee hurling final Croke Park
Congratulations to our club mate Eoin Shaughnessy who will referee the Junior Club All-Ireland final in Croke Park on Sunday March 11th. Eoin, after a distinguished hurling career for Mitchels and Mayo, took up refereeing two years ago and has been progressing quickly up the ranks. Congratulations also to his faithful umpire Ray Coy who is also making his Croke Park debut. We wish both of them the best of luck.

Under 14s

Castlebar Mitchels 1—0
Castlebar Mitchels lost their final group game to a more determined home side in Ballyhaunis. Castlebar found it difficult to raise their game to the level shown in previous rounds.Mitchels got off to the perfect start when Eoin Lisibach found the net with a lob from 40 yards out. This however only served to spur on the home side who gradually came back to level the scores at half time with 3 pointed frees.
Again Ballyhaunis had the edge in the second half and kept the pressure on the Castlebar defence. This eventually bore results with 3 further points to the home side to leave them deserved winners at the end.
Barry Lane played well in goals & kept another clean sheet. Joseph Redmond, Darragh O’Malley and David Bell were prominent in defence. Mitchels struggled at midfield and never fully came to terms with the home pairing in this area, although Tony Sweeney tried hard. In the attack which was deprived of any decent supply of possession Eoin Lisibach and Conor Mylett looked dangerous at times.
Castlebar Mitchels: Barry Lane: David Bell, Joseph Redmond. Declan Howley: Laurence Kenchington, Darragh O’Malley, Bernard Kennedy: Tony Sweeney, Jamie Redmond: Art O’Suilleabhain, Eoin Lisibach, Conor Mylett: Nathan O’Malley, Ryan Mc Guire, Sean King:
