FORMER ALL-IRELAND club football champions Crossmolina are heading to Mayo intermediate ranks after losing today’s relegation final to Davitts by 0-17 to 1-13.
Crossmolina won the All-Ireland in 2001 and also reached the final in 2003. The three-time Connacht winners delivered five Mayo titles between 1999 and 2006, but now drop out of senior ranks.
A Stephen Duffy goal left them with a 1-8 to 0-6 half-time lead, but Davitts rallied in the second period.
This very clever finish from Stephen Duffy has helped @DeelRoversGAA into a 1-8 0-6 half time lead in Charlestown.
