A late flurry of goals and a sending off cost Swinford the game against Aghamore. 3-6 to 1-6 was the final score. The teams were level at half time and with 5 minutes to go before 3 goals for Aghamore and a consolation goal for Swinford with the last kick of the game brought matters to an end.

Club Development Draw 2015
– Last Chance To Enter –
Swinford GAA Club has launched their club draw for 2015. The annual subscription remains at €150. The club draw is again structured this year to ensure each subscriber is getting value for their money and you will be entitled to the following for your €150 investment in the club;
1. Club Membership – €20
2. Entry to Swinford GAA Home League games
3. County Board ticket – €100, which has a prize fund of €90,000 and
4. An entitlement to purchase an All-Ireland Senior Football Final ticket should Mayo reach the final in 2015.
The officers of the club have decided to restrict the numbers in the draw this year to 130 people in order to limit the ticket demands placed on it should Mayo reach the All Ireland Final in 2015.
Please contact any club officer as soon as possible if you are interested in purchasing a ticket as we expect to sell the allocation within a couple of weeks.
