We’re back in Division One and the votes are in and counted for the Man of the Match poll on the game in which we won promotion. Oisín Mullin has come out on top in the poll and so he’s our MOTM from yesterday’s game. He was also selected as MOTM by TG4 after the game yesterday. Oisín bagged 25% […]
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 […]
Well, we won this must-win game. If you’re the optimistic kind then that might be the point – a very important one, for sure – you’d want to focus on in the aftermath of today’s National League Division Two semi-final against Clare at Cusack Park today. We won alright but at what could prove to be a significant cost to […]
When Breaffy’s Matthew Ruane burst through to the first fifteen at county level in the League-winning spring campaign of 2019, it was clear that this was a player of real promise. Injuries haven’t been that kind to him since but so far this year he’s been in flying form, no more so than in yesterday’s match against Meath. Mattie was […]
With most of the action involving us over the previous two weeks taking place on the Saturday, it’s made sense to do this post on the Sunday but the weekend just gone saw matches involving us on both days with the men’s match taking place yesterday. That means shifting this one to today so as a result it’s welcome to […]
The sun shone brightly at MacHale Park this afternoon on a perfect summer’s day for football. One problem though – neither side had anything tangible to play for and the contest we got to see reflected that obvious fact. We won comfortably to top the group with three wins from three games. Our reward is a Division Two semi-final against […]
Against Down in the opening round last weekend it was the young guns who were to the fore but, sucked into a battle against a deeply defensive Westmeath at Cusack Park in Mullingar yesterday, it was the more experienced lads who stood up strongest to see us through. True, Mattie Ruane was prominent in both games – particularly so yesterday […]
I dunno about the rest of you but my view is that having the matches back again is just bloody great. Good performances, not-so-good displays – who cares? It’s wonderful to have the games we love to focus on back once again, giving us all hope of life beyond Covid, of a time beyond the time when it seemed that […]
Well, that was a lot closer than I certainly expected today’s Division Two North clash with Westmeath at Cusack Park would be. While we were never really in danger of losing this one, we never looked like we’d win it convincingly either. Three points separated the teams at the finish and you’d have to say that was a fair enough […]
When Tommy Conroy burst clear and rattled the Down net with just 15 minutes played at MacHale Park yesterday, it already looked a sure enough bet that we’d win the game. It also made him the strong favourite to claim the Man of the Match award for his performance. We did, of course, emerge victorious from yesterday’s opening National League […]
