The race for the Moclair Cup got underway today with champions Castlebar Mitchels, Ballintubber, Breaffy and Hollymount / Carramore enjoying wins.

A dominant first half laid the foundations for Castlebar's 2-15 to 1-7 victory over Crossmolina, while Cillian O'Connor and Conor O'Shea scored 1-9 and 1-8 respectively as Ballintubber defeated Kiltane by 1-15 to 1-5 and Breaffy accounted for Davitts on a 4-18 to 0-9 scoreline. James Minogue and Gareth Dunne also hit the net in an impressive Breaffy show.

Hollymount / Carramore were comfortable 4-15 to 1-6 winners of Ballaghadereen, while a late Alan Kennedy point earned All-Ireland club intermediate champions Westport a 1-10 to 2-7 draw with Garrymore. The meeting of Charlestown and Knockmore also finished all square (2-10 each) after the latter came from six points down at half-time.
