The lads may have had the luxury of not having to take something from today’s match in Castlebar but that wasn’t the case for the county’s women footballers, who had to get at least a draw from their final round Division One game this afternoon. It was either themselves or opponents Donegal for the drop arising from today’s match in […]
Well, that’s our unbeaten run gone. The supporting cast put in an understandably disjointed display this afternoon against a hugely motivated Monaghan team, for whom the wily Conor McManus up front ran the show. With Armagh losing at Tyrone, the visitors sensed another great escape in the offing and they finished strongly to claim a deserved six-points win. The good […]
Such is the ultra-competitive nature of Division One every year, Round 7 matches can so often be fraught affairs. We’ve had plenty of occasions ourselves where we’ve taken the pitch in the final round knowing we needed to get something from the game to stay up. It makes a pleasant change, then, that today’s Round 7 meeting with Monaghan at […]

The county’s camogie team were in League action this afternoon and a winning appearance it proved to be too. Today’s game was a Camogie League Division 4 semi-final against Wicklow at Rathdowney. In what was a high-scoring encounter, Mayo emerged victorious from the Laois venue on a 2-12 to 4-3 scoreline. They now face Tyrone in the Division 4 final, […]

A piece by John Fogarty in the Irish Examiner today (here) confirms that the Mayo Senior footballers have been in contact with the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) to request that the Division One final be shifted from Sunday 2nd April to Saturday 1st. The players’ request apparently articulated concerns about the quick turnaround between the League final and […]
