Trevor Mangan

Joins the team this season and after a handful of appearances for the Reserves was promoted to the A team where he is now first choice keeper.

Jamie Timlin

Youngster who finally makes his debut this season with the club after participating in training and friendly matches for as many years as anyone can remember. Has played for both teams during the current season.

Shane McKinley

Regular on the reserves since their formation two years ago. Begins this season with them too but will hope to step up to first team duties at some stage of the campaign. Found a new home at fullback midway through the season.

Sean Hiney

Cast aside any personal ambitions during his inaugural season at the club when he played in goals many times despite it not being his preferred position. A reliable left back he has at various times been deployed at nearly every position on the field.

Mark Howley

Energy and workrate have earned him a berth in the team. Added goals to his repertoire last season but he is yet to find his best position despite being at the club for nearly five seasons now. Named vice-captain for the season. Played Collingwood Cup for Maynooth.

Ciaran Traynor

Youngster who played all of last season with the B team and posed a threat on his day. Will be remembered for an exceptional hat trick that was accompanied by a trio of fanciful celebrations. This season his four goals haul sees him leading the club scoring charts.

Joe Kearns

Player who is now in his second stint at the club. Returned last season after a number of years away and brings a host of qualities to the midfield when he plays.

John Moyles

Solid centre back who expected to be focussing on management this year only to be thrust into action on the opening of the season for the A team! And he didn't look out of place at all. Was subsequently promoted to the A team full-time.

Enda Jordan

One of the influx of youngsters that joined the team two years ago he has made an immediate impression with his energetic displays and bursts of pace. Split the season between the wing and up front, displaying scoring ability in both positions. Opened his account this season against Iorras Aontaithe.

Keith Gallagher

Youngster who joined the club for last season. Began the campaign with the B team but has been upgraded to the A team. Tenaciuos competitor.

Paul Flaherty

Owner of the sweetest left foot in Mayo.  Operates in midfield or defence and is the designated dead ball expert at the club. Has missed a number of games last season due to injury, a noteworthy achievement considering his lengthy tenure at the club.

Ronan O'Mara

Another who is in his second go-round with the club. Returned last season after a number of years away and began by playing 45 minutes for the A team and then nearly a whole match for the Reserves on the same day. Forms one half of the Colossi of Memnon centre-back pairing with Paul Cawley.

Nathan Mullarkey

New arrival last year who instantly seized the centre-back position for himself. Suffered a nasty injury in the first game of this season so may be sidelined for the next while.

Peter Gibbons

Youngster who has been around the club for many years due to living locally. Signed for the first time last season and, despite not featuring too often for the Reserves has appeared for the A team already, scoring once in the Cup at Partry.

Michael Timlin 

Returned to the team last season after a year away and bedded in at right back immediately. Can also play most outfield positions - and has done at one stage or another of his career - along with in goals where he excels.

John Duggan

Excellent touch and tremendous levels of stamina make him a difficult opponent on either side of Crossmolina’s midfield. A fluke goal at Kilmore is his only strike this campaign.

Joe Hennigan

Another new youngster who will be bedded into the B team this campaign. Has displayed a deft touch in preseason and his composure on the ball is an asset amidst the normally frantic proceedings.

Paul Cawley

New arrival who has immediately provided a presence in the heart of the B team. A solid defender with a sound understanding of the game he will prove to be a useful addition for the reserves. Forms one half of the Colossi of Memnon centre-back pairing with Ronan O'Mara.

Ciaran Cawley

Youngster who joined the team this year and made an immediate impact with two goals on his debut for the reserves, one of which was a true gem. More performances like that could earn him a call-up to the A team.

Kevin O'Brien

New addition who has played at fullback in preseason. He will look to break into the B team before advancing further up the ranks.

 

Stewart Griffin

Can play in numerous positions but excels in midfield. Aerially dominant, his ball control is unequalled by most players and his repertoire of flicks and tricks needs to be seen to be believed. Named club captain last year.

John Luke Flanagan

One of two new goalkeepers to join the B team this year. Vocal organiser who bravely goes in wherever the ball is. Made his debut against Newport Town.

 

Johnno Heffernan

Midfielder and left back who loves to pass the ball. His intelligent use of the ball is a result of coaching he received as a youngster and also the coaching badges he has accumulated recently.
