Kilmeena (Irish: Cill Mhíona)[1] is a civil parish and small village near Westport in County Mayo, Ireland. The area is served by a Roman Catholic church, an An Post post office,[2] and a national (primary) school.[3]

History

The Kilmeena ambush was the scene of a defeat for the local Irish Republican Army during the Irish War of Independence.[4] On 19 May 1921, British troops surprised an IRA ambush party at Kilmeena. Five IRA men were killed and four were wounded and captured.[5] The remainder of the column fled over the mountains to Skerdagh. One Royal Irish Constabulary man and one Black and Tans member were also killed in the action.[citation needed]

Sport

Kilmeena GAA Club was founded in 1889. According to the club's records, the club first fielded a Gaelic football team against Westport at Kilmeena on 10 March 1889.[6] The club was reputedly affiliated to the Mayo county board in the same year. The club's grounds at Saint Brendan's Park were first opened in 1938, and a new club house was formally opened in 2000.[6] In 2022, Kilmeena won the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship with a win over Gneeveguilla of County Kerry at Croke Park.[7]

Song

In 1884, George Cooper and John Rogers Thomas wrote a song Sweet Flower of Kilmeena.[8]
