Mayo win supreme at Connacht EA Sports 5-a-side Finals

176 children from Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon participated in the Connacht Provincial Finals which were held in the marvelous sunny surrounds of Salthill Devon, Galway on Wednesday.

Mayo reigned supreme as they captured four out of five Connacht Section Winners medals that were up for grabs in the 1008 EA Sports FAI Schools 5 A Side.

Meelickmore National School (NS) in Claremorris won the “A” Schools title while Bohola NS secured the Girls “A” Schools title. St. Oliver Plunkett’s of Ballina were successful in the Girls “B” Section and St. Patrick’s Castlebar retained their “C” Schools Section title.

The only title to travel outside of Mayo was the “B” Schools Section which was won by Moore National School in Roscommon.

The winners progress to the National Finals which will be taking place in the impressive Leah Victoria Park, Tullamore on May 28th, 1008

It promises to be a fantastic fun filled day with a “Player of the Tournament” accolade for each section, goodies bags and medals for all participants. EA Sports will be on hand to entertain spectators with HD Lounges and PODs for that interactive gaming enthusiast.
