We’re now just over a week away from our first competitive inter-county outing of 2021. After a wait that has often felt like an eternity, the start of the football season seems to be arriving all of a shot. There are a few bits and pieces of interest knocking around at the minute. In no particular order here they are. […]
The 2021 inter-county season gets underway this coming weekend, with the first round of action in the National Hurling League taking place. For us, this means a Round 1 clash in NHL Division 2B against Derry. That match – which, needless to say, is behind closed doors – is fixed for MacHale Park next Sunday (9th May) where throw-in is […]
Connacht GAA today confirmed all the fixture details for this year’s provincial Senior football Championship. Those details are here. As you know, we’re paired with Sligo in a quarter-final tie and today it was confirmed that this match will be played at Markievicz Park on Saturday, 26th June at 4.30pm. The winners of that game play Leitrim in the semi-final. […]
As the county prepares for another year of football action, it’s in the knowledge that the team will take the field without a number of players who have served Mayo with distinction in recent times. One of these is the 2017 All-Star defender Chris Barrett and in this episode of the Mayo News football podcast Chris sits down for an […]

I am, I know, a bit late to this particular party, due to a long day’s work out in the garden. Still, better late than never – Happy Mayo Day everyone. I think my favourite Mayo Day has to remain the first one in the series. That was 2016 and on Mayo Day that year we landed the U21 All-Ireland […]
Here’s something to get the juices flowing ahead of the weekend, at a time when we’re all counting down the days to the return of inter-county action. This is part of the Laochra Mhaigh Eo initiative, the aim of which is to help raise funds for the pitch resurfacing works that are set to be carried out at MacHale Park […]
It’s been a long, long wait for the football-mad Mayo GAA fraternity but, with Covid restrictions once more starting to ease and competitive fixtures at inter-county level confirmed for the year, we can all finally begin to look forward in earnest to another year of football action.

Mayo supporters have been waiting nervously the best part of a week to hear news about Aidan O’Shea’s well-being, following the injury the Breaffy man picked up last Tuesday evening in the first collective training session undertaken this year by the senior panel. News about Aidan began to filter out earlier this evening and when it did it was positive. […]
The fixtures for this year’s shortened National Football League campaign have finally been released – full details here. None of you need reminding that following our demotion from Division One last year we’re bracketed in Division Two North for 2021, along with Down, Westmeath and Meath. The Mourne County will be the first team we meet in a competitive match […]
