Westport christen new pitch with impressive victory
Westport open club campaign with 19-point win
MAYO SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Westport 1-30
Charlestown 1-11
FLOWING, fast, entertaining football decorated the perfect surface of Kenny Park when Westport played their first match on their new pitch.
The boys in blue were clear and deserving winners and kicked nine two-pointers over the course of an evening they won’t forget for some time.
Finbar McLaughlin was the hero of the hour, kicking ten points from wing-back as Pat Holmes’s men impressed in all departments.
Charlestown tried to stay in the game as Ruairi Cullen looked to inspire his colleagues and a goal from Paul Towey early in the second half gave them a glimmer of hope, but it was fleeting.
Westport won as they pleased and a late goal from Colm Moran put the icing on a very sweet cake for the men in blue who had eleven different scorers.
A full report and reaction will be carried in Tuesday’s Mayo News.
