Aidan O'Shea's Breaffy down and out as Knockmore book place in Mayo semis

The line-up for this year’s Mayo SFC semi-finals is complete.

GARRYMORE ARE ONE win away from a place in the Mayo Senior Football final for the first time since 1982. To get there, they will have to dethrone Castlebar Mitchels.

Garrymore set up a semi-final showdown against the reigning county champions with a two-point win over Charlestown in Elverys McHale Park this afternoon.

The sides were level at 1-6 apiece at the break but Garrymore started the second half with three unanswered points and Charlestown could never bridge the gap.

Knockmore will face Ballintubber in the second semi-final after they shocked last year’s beaten finalists Breaffy earlier today.

Knockmore were well on top in the opening 30 minutes and took a six-point lead into the break, 1-6 to 0-3.

Breaffy — captained by Aidan O’Shea — fought back after the restart but had left themselves with a mountain to climb and Knockmore held on for a two-point win.
