There I was just now saying that the hurling team to play Roscommon at MacHale Park tomorrow in the opening round of the NHL Division 3A (throw-in 2pm) hadn’t been named yet. It has and they’ve even named the full match-day panel for it. Here it is: That’s a bit of a strange team, you’d have to admit, a selection […]
I got caught on the hop a bit there but a short while ago we named our starting fifteen to play Armagh up at the Athletic Grounds on Sunday (throw-in 3.30pm). It’s the same fifteen who started last Saturday night against Galway and, for the record, here is the team: Mayo (NFL Division One v Armagh 5/2/2023): Colm Reape (Knockmore); […]
This is just a quick one to provide some details on tickets for this weekend’s three Mayo matches. Let’s start this time with the big one, the men’s NFL Division One clash against Armagh at the Athletic Grounds on Sunday (throw-in 3.30pm). Mayo GAA cautioned earlier today that tickets need to be bought now to avoid disappointment, adding that, due […]
This coming Sunday we’ve the first of three away games in this year’s National Football League. Sunday’s one sees us head north to the ecclesiastical capital of the island to take on Armagh. Throw-in at the Athletic Grounds is 3.30pm on Sunday, Fergal Kelly of Longford is the ref and the match is being shown live on TG4. If you […]
We’ve a Bank Holiday weekend to look forward to in a few days time – the new St Brigid’s one – and we’ve got three Mayo matches to keep an eye on this weekend too. The county’s hurlers are in action first. Having suffered relegation last year, they’re now operating in Division 3A of the National Hurling League, a level […]
The votes are in and counted for the first MOTM poll of 2023 here on the blog. The outcome is a fairly decisive one too: by a large enough margin you’ve voted Ryan O’Donoghue as our MOTM from last night’s derby draw with Galway. Ryan was back to his brilliant best at MacHale Park last night and I thought it […]
A bonus episode this weekend as Mayo goalkeeper Rob Hennelly sits down with our own Edwin McGreal to chat about his his planned transfer from Breaffy to Dublin’s Raheny, discussing the reasons behind the move. During the podcast he speaks about the emotions involved in leaving his home club. He talks about how travel has impinged on his club performances […]
Last night was, thanks to Ryan’s outrageous score at the finish, one of the good nights at MacHale Park. His late, late point into the bacon factory end ensured we avoided defeat to Galway in League or Championship at the venue for the first time since the 2014 Connacht final. That stat alone makes it a positive start to the […]
A draw can feel like a loss or it can feel like a win. When Ryan O’Donoghue launched a screamer into the night sky at the Galway posts deep in stoppage time tonight, the enormous roar that went around MacHale Park showed what the home fans felt about the result the Belmullet man had pulled from the fire for us. […]
Goals win games but, from Mayo’s perspective in this afternoon’s LGFA NFL Division One clash with Kerry at the Connacht GAA CoE, they can also lose them. Mayo scored thirteen times to Kerry’s eight in Bekan today but three of those scores from the Kingdom were goals and that saw them win by a single point on a scoreline of […]
