PREVIEW: 'No one gave Westport a chance': Clew Bay men meet Ballina in senior final

Pitchside: Will Westport be able to stop Ballina's hunt for three-in-a-row or will the Stephenites make history?

The Mayo GAA Senior Football Championship final is capturing the county's imagination.

The stage is set for a thrilling battle between reigning back-to-back champions Ballina Stephenites and challengers Westport St Patrick's.

The Clew Bay men were the last to beat Ballina in a knock-out Mayo championship match in the final three years ago 2022.
