Saturday’s All-Ireland senior football final between Dublin and Mayo will mark a small by important milestone for St Attracta’s Community School in Tubbercurry.
Former pupil Paul Towey (pictured), who hails from Charlestown, is set to feature in the All-Ireland final matchday squad of 26 for Mayo.
Paul, who’s now studying at University of Limerick, made his national league debut for Mayo earlier this year against Monaghan and has since become an important member of James Horan’s senior panel.

He played with distinction for St Attracta’s during his secondary school days.
If he comes on this Saturday, he would become the first St Attracta’s ‘alumnus’ to feature in an All-Ireland senior football final.
Saturday’s All-Ireland senior football final between Dublin and Mayo at Croke Park has a 5pm throw-in.
