The Mayo U-16 Camogie panel started their campaign away to Wicklow in Bray on Sunday last, making the long journey cross-country to take on the current All-Ireland U16C Champions.
Played on the Emmets Astro pitch due to poor local weather, Mayo were very competitive in the early stages - and a point from Westport's Sinead Toland settled the nerves of the Mayo girls. Wicklow showed however why they won last years competition and recorded 1-5 in succession before Ann Toland for Mayo converted two frees to give Mayo hope going in at the break. 
Half Time: Wicklow 1-5 Mayo 0-3.
With the aid of the breeze in the second half, Wicklow powered on with further scores from play and from frees. Mayo had strong defensive displays at this juncture with Castlebar duo Denise Staunton and Mary Ellan Ruane in top form. Mayo did record a mini-comeback late on as Sinead Toland goaled low from close range - and her sister Ann recorded her third pointed free of the game.
In the end Wicklow were deserving of their win, but the Mayo girls will have gained a lot of experience from the outing - many of whom were playing their first ever game at this level. Mayo go on to play Louth in Round 2 in a fortnight's time, in a home fixture. 
Mayo: Isobel Allen; Tara Delaney, Denise Staunton, Chloe Finnerty; Saoirse Leneghan, Mary Ellen Ruane, Clara Kennedy; Holly Tuohy, Ann Toland (0-3,3f); Grace Burke, Sinead Toland (1-1), Kate Moloney; Aibhe Donnellon, Niamh Delaney, Lauren Gallagher. Subs: Lily Gallagher, Saoirse Hession, Cliona Ni Cionnaith, Kaylan McHugh, Sophie Egan, Molly Tiernan, Emma McGing, Ellen Quinn, Emma Lee. Willow OMalley.
