Another brilliant performance last night as the boys beat Erris St Pats in Bangor.
It wasn’t all plain sailing — the bus trip and warm conditions made for a tough start, with the lads taking a while to find their feet in the opening quarters. But they dug deep and turned on the style in the fourth quarter to seal a resounding victory.
That makes it 4 wins from 4 and with one game to go against Bonniconlon in two weeks, the boys look well placed to top the group
Sunday, the 24th of May 2026, will long be remembered as it was the day our Senior Ladies claimed the D4 Senior League title, defeating Kilmaine on a scoreline of 5.15 to 0.08.
The game was played at a fast pace, and Kiltimagh raced into a 3-point lead. Kilmaine started to settle and had 2 points on the board before Kiltimagh upped their scoring rate, going in at half-time leading 1.10 to 0.04.
In the 2nd half, Kiltimagh continued where they left off, scoring 4 further goals to leave them, clear winners on a scoreline of 5.15 to Kilmaines 0.08.
There were so many brilliant performances by all the players that it was hard to pick a player of the match, but this honour fell to Madeline O’Donnell for her outstanding work rate throughout the game.

Ladies Chairperson, Mike Ryan, couldn’t have summed up the performance any better:
“Today’s fantastic win from our Senior Ladies in the League Final was a victory built on years of hard work, commitment, belief, and togetherness. Huge congratulations to the players and management on an incredible performance today.
This success did not happen overnight. Over the last 3–4 years, this panel has continued to grow and develop season after season — learning from one another, pushing each other at training, trusting the process laid out by their management team, and showing an incredible willingness to improve every time they stepped onto the pitch.
What stands out most about this group is the bond they have built along the way. They play for one another, work tirelessly for one another, and never stop fighting for the jersey. The spirit, determination, and pride shown throughout this campaign has been something truly special to watch.
Every training session, every tough defeat, every challenge faced together has helped shape this team into the formidable force they are becoming all over the pitch. Today’s victory, winning on a scoreline of 5-15 to 0-08, was a reward for all those sacrifices and all the effort put in behind the scenes by players, management, families, and supporters alike.
The scenes after the final said it all — pure joy, pride, togetherness, and a group that fully deserved their moment. Bringing home silverware is a huge achievement, and one that everyone connected with the team can be immensely proud of.
Congratulations to our outstanding players and dedicated management team on a thoroughly deserved League Final victory. This group continues to inspire, and there is no doubt that there is even more to come from them.
We wish the girls the very best of luck as they now turn their focus towards the Cup and Championship campaigns ahead. The future is bright for this team”.
A great win for our U14 girls in their semi-final against Claremorris.
Kiltimagh had a superb first half, which helped secure their win on a scoreline of 7.08 to 5.03.
A big thank you to the 5 U12 girls who were part of the team tonight.
A great all-round display and team performance by our U16 girls who defeated Achill on a scoreline of 3.13 to 1.06.
A big welcome back to football tonight for Kathryn Heneghan.
Well done to u12 girls yesterday evening. Tough game Vs Mayo Gaels with many players playing in new positions for the first time.
We struggled in the first half to keep the ball down the Gaels end, with a very strong gaels midfield keeping control of the ball and making quite a few scores.
In the second half, after 4 positional changes, we were far more competitive. Outscoring Gaels in this half, but damage was already done.
Big kudos to all the girls who dug in and kept fighting to the end.
Our Senior Ladies defeated Kilmaine on a scoreline of 2.10 to 0.02 in their final game in the D4 League.
This win ensured they would qualify for the League final, where their opponents will again be Kilmaine.
That game will be played in the C.O.E. on Sunday the 24th @ 11 am.
In the Division 4 league, our senior team lost out to Kilmaine on a scoreline of 1.14 to 2.16
Kiltimagh minor ladies played their second game last Sunday against The Neale in Gilmartin Park on a lovely morning for football .
In a very disjointed league format ,their last game being on March 12th, the ladies were in control from the throw in and settled well getting some lovely team scores.
Although the Neale made a bit of comeback ,the ladies drove on and finished on a scoreline of 4-13 to 2-05.
Next up is a semi final against either Achill or Burrishoole on June 28th. Time and venue to be confirmed.
Kiltimagh Fall Just Short in Bofeenaun on an evening when 2 pointers were the order of the day.
Kiltimagh fell just short in a gripping Division 4 contest on Saturday evening, losing out by the narrowest of margins to Lahardane MacHales on a final scoreline of 1-15 to 1-14 in Bofeenaun.
With a strong crossfield breeze influencing much of the opening half, Lahardane adapted quicker to the conditions. After Eoghan Lavin had given Kiltimagh an early lead, the home side soon took control, landing a series of fine long-range efforts to move into a 0-9 to 0-3 lead as half-time approached.
Kiltimagh were handed a lifeline just before the break. Max Bennett, who saw open road in front of him when he made his way forward from corner-back, got on the end of a fine Kiltimagh move and finished emphatically to the roof of the net. That goal left Kiltimagh right back in the game at the interval, trailing 0-09 to 1-03.
The second half saw Kiltimagh make better use of the conditions as they gradually worked their way back into the contest. Two-pointers from Seán Gilmartin and Oisín Mulderrig looked to have shifted the momentum, and when Paddy McDonnell brought Kiltimagh level with a score from distance midway through the second half, the visitors looked in the ascendancy. That score, however, seemed to awaken Lahardane. Following a break down their right wing, the home side found the net to move three points clear with eight minutes remaining.
Kiltimagh once again dug deep. A two-pointer from Lavin and another from Mulderrig levelled the game at 1-14 apiece with three minutes to play. Lahardane, however, struck the final score of the evening and held on to edge a bruising contest by a single point.
While Kiltimagh will be disappointed not to take something from the game, there was plenty to take from the manner of the second-half response. Having trailed by six points before Bennett’s goal, they showed real grit to level the game twice in the second half and bring the contest right down to the wire.
Kiltimagh remain joint second in the table after three rounds and now turn their attention to next weekend’s home fixture against Intermediate Championship group opponents Kilmaine, as they continue their push for promotion to Division 3.

Great effort from our U16 girls yesterday evening away to Schrule-Glencorrib GAA.
With just 15 players, they showed incredible determination and never gave up against a strong side, finishing with 4-05. The final score read 4-21 to 4-05, but the spirit, resilience, and pride in wearing the Kiltimagh GAA colours shone through.
Plenty to build on – we’re very proud of this group
