The Mayo FC U-19 girls pictured during their friendly game against Sligo Rovers
MAYO FC took yet another step forward over the weekend as four different teams represented the fledgling club.
This year, the two-year-old club is fielding U-14, U-15 and U-17 boys teams and U-17 and U-19 female teams, all of which saw action over the weekend.
No team emerged victorious in the first round of the new League of Ireland campaign, with the U-15s suffering a 1-7 defeat at home to Athlone Town. Jakub Stec scored Mayo’s only goal with a wonder strike into the top left corner.
The U-14s, meanwhile, hosted Athlone Town in their league meeting, where they went 3-1 up with goals from Joshua Gordon and Mark Rowley (2) before shipping four goals to lose 5-3.
The U-17s were also unlucky, losing 1-0 away to Athlone Town despite an impressive showing from Ronan McElevey.
The U-17 girls, the only other Mayo team in competitive action, travelled north to Finn Harps, where new signing Emily Coleman scored their only goal in a 1-5 defeat.
For the first time, Mayo FC are fielding an U-19 women’s team. Managed by James Johnson, last year’s Mayo FC U-17 girls team boss, the U-19s lost 4-2 in a friendly against Sligo Rovers over the weekend, with Sarah Jane Kilcawley and Emily Jennings scoring for the visitors.
Johnson’s charges play Dundalk FC away in their first-ever League of Ireland game on Sunday.
