It’s Monday morning, with Mayo supporters still preoccupied, I’d say, with yesterday’s game. We’re back in Division One but we’re all now anxiously awaiting news about how bad the injuries to Diarmuid and Cillian O’Connor are. And we’re facing into Championship with a defence that’s so porous it’s simply not funny anymore. But it is Monday so, you know, work […]
A win for Mayo over Dublin in this evening’s LGFA NFL Division 1 semi-final was always going to be a big ask. It might, though, have been expected that we’d put it up to them in some kind of serious way. We didn’t do this, however, and instead slumped to an embarrassing seventeen-point hammering. A few caveats are worth entering […]
Here’s the live stream for this evening’s LGFA NFL Division 1 semi-final between Dublin and Mayo, courtesy of TG4.
There are three separate Mayo teams in competitive action today, in three different codes at three different venues. It’s a real jam-packed weekend for the county, with the men’s footballers facing a crunch promotion decider against Clare tomorrow as well. Today it’s hurling, camogie and women’s football that are in focus. Three extremely tough games they’re set to be too, […]
The Mayo women’s team to play Dublin in Saturday’s LGFA NFL Division 1 semi-final at the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick, was named a short while ago. That game throws in at 5.15pm on Saturday and here’s the team we’ve named to start in it: Mayo (LGFA NFL Division 1 semi-final v Dublin, 12/6/2021): Laura Brennan (Hollymount); Saoirse Lally (Westport), Clodagh McManamon […]
There are four matches, in four different codes, involving Mayo teams this coming weekend. All four games will be available to view live from the comfort of your own homes, with one being broadcast on TV and the other three streamed. There’s also a team from Mayo contesting an All-Ireland final in a GAA code this coming Sunday. I’ll get […]
As well as being a long weekend it was a quiet one on the following Mayo front, with yesterday’s LGFA match against Westmeath the only one on that involved the county. But hold onto your hats as next weekend approaches as there are four Mayo teams in action then, facing opposition from Ulster, Munster and Leinster. Saturday is the busier […]
As we gradually edge our way out of the madness, induced by Covid lockdowns, the mind turns slowly back to football. For years, Mayo GAA has been a passion that has consumed us when the action was underway and that gave us serious withdrawal symptoms when the year’s action was over. Throughout the last twelve months, the radical changes in […]
There are some advantages to watching the final on television. The main one for me on Saturday evening was the proximity of the TV remote. At the push of a button, the screen switched satisfactorily to black, chiming perfectly with my mood. It wasn’t a lack of respect for James Horan’s team that caused me to cut off the broadcast […]
As we approach the shortest day of the year, the results are in on our final Man of the Match poll of 2020. Playing in your first All-Ireland final must, I’m sure, be a daunting experience for any player, especially for someone who was still eligible to line out at U20 this year. If Oisín Mullin had any such worries […]
