Mayo Senior Hurling Championship
The Mayo Senior Hurling Club Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition between the clubs in County Mayo. The winners of the Mayo Championship are awarded the TJ Tyrrell Cup and qualify to represent their county in the Connacht Intermediate Club Hurling Championship and in turn, if successful, go on to the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship.
The role of honour is led by Tooreen but their East Mayo rivals Ballyhaunis have had the upper-hand since annexing their first championship in 2002. Shortly after this initial success they completed a three-in-a-row feat after defeating James Stephens Ballina by a scoreline of 1-9 to 1-4.. The 2007 final saw a repeat of the previous year's pairing, with the title going to James Stephens Ballina.

Famous quotes containing the word senior:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
