A year to remember: Our month-by-month guide of 2025 in Mayo sport

FEBRUARY

Rentons power to victory

Teenage sensations Freya and Holly Renton were flying the tricolour in style on the International stage at the British-Irish Cross Country championships.

The Westport AC stars helped power Team Ireland to victory at the British Cross-Country Challenge in
the U-17 Girls’ 400-meter event, the latest road stop on their journey to greatness.

Colman’s reach Hogan Cup final

For the first time since 1981, St Colman’s College punched their ticket to the decider of the most
prestigious competition in schools’ football.

Darragh Beirne was integral as the red and white bested Coláiste Mhuire Mullingar to set up a Jones’ Road decider against St Pat’s, Maghera.

Mayo get ball rolling

Under the floodlights in the capital, the travelling faithful among the 24,160 in Croke Park were full of
hope for the year ahead as the Green and Red got their campaign underway against the Dubs.

Despite a good effort, Kevin McStay’s side were unable to usurp the old enemy in a two-point loss.

Super League kicks off

It was a case of Friday Night Lights for the opening game of Mayo soccer’s top flight when Westport
United hosted Manulla.

Unfortunately, the performance didn’t quite shine as brightly for either side, as the game ended in a
goalless draw.
