SOCCER ROUND-UP: Crucial victories in the Mayo Super League

It was a relatively quiet weekend in the Mayo soccer circles but there was a massive game at the bottom of the Super league table in which Kiltimagh/Knock came out victors.

Here, we’ll try and summarise the encounters that took place.

Super League

At the bottom of the table, Kiltimagh/Knock clashed with Ballyhaunis where Dylan Webb stole the show as the Kiltimagh/Knock attacker bagged four goals in a 5-2 win. That win means Kiltimagh/Knock move up the table on goal difference as they overtake a Manulla side who lost out in Ballyheane.

Dan Purcell’s brace and goals from Sean Rabbette, Nathan Reilly Doyle and an own goal from Andrew Shally saw the homeside run out comfortable 5-0 winners. Conn Rangers leapfrogged into third position as they secured a 3-1 victory over Ballinrobe. A brace from Evan Reape and a goal from Adam Gallagher was enough to get past Chris Mc Gauley’s Ballinrobe.
