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:
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
