BALLINA STEPHENITES MAINTAINED their Mayo senior football three in a row bid with a semi-final success against Knockmore this afternoon.
Ballina came through a repeat of last year’s final to set up a Moclair Cup showdown against Westport, who defeated Crossmolina Deel Rovers in an extra-time thriller this evening.
The defending champions ran out 1-12 to 0-8 winners in Crossmolina.
They led 0-6 to 0-2 at half time, and Luke Doherty scored the only goal of the game shortly after the restart:

Westportawait there after a 1-24 to 1-20 win in Charlestown sent the 2022 champions back to the showpiece.
Reigning All-Ireland intermediate winners Crossmolina pushed them all the way, with Mayo minor star Kobe McDonald — son of Ciarán — their leading light. His 0-9, which included a huge two-point free and a ’45, wasn’t enough as Crossmolina fell just short.
The senior returnees were 0-8 to 0-7 ahead at half time, and a titanic battle required extra-time as it finished 1-14 apiece. Kevin Mulhern (Crossmolina) and Killian Kilkelly (Westport) scored their side’s goals in the second half, the latter a penalty. A Kilkelly free sent the game to the additional period.

Ballina free-taker Evan Regan was on song, while Niall Feeney, Conor McStay and Frank Irwin all hit 0-2 apiece.
