For the second weekend in a row, the award goes to Evan Regan and this time he wins it in style, taking 76% of the vote. I don’t recall anyone coming remotely close to a vote like […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com So here we are with our Division One status retained for another year and the final set of match-related paraphernalia for this particular League campaign to sort through and box away. No time like the present. Mayo GAA nerds can have no complaints about the weekend just gone: as well as the seniors navigating their way to top […]
Image: GAA.ie Bloody hell, we made hard work of that. Despite the many permutations about how Division One might finish up, a win for us today against Down at MacHale Park was always likely to keep us up. It was a win we got but the way we fell asunder in the final quarter almost resulted in victory – and our […]
We started this League campaign in the worst possible way with that thumping we endured down in Cork on the final weekend in January but this afternoon at MacHale Park we have the chance to end it on a positive note. We haven’t yet won at home in the 2016 NFL so today against already-relegated Down presents us with the […]
As you’ve no doubt noticed, I’ve been off the map for the last few days, which was due to sad family reasons back at home in the west. Sometimes, football-related stuff has to take a back seat. I should maybe add in parenthesis that absences of this kind serve to demonstrate the downside of, as well as the inevitable unsustainability inherent […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com The votes are in on our sixth Man of the Match poll of 2016 and, for the fifth time this year, it’s a forward who scoops the award. (Yes, I thought that noteworthy too). Evan Regan’s 1-3 in yesterday’s win over Roscommon saw him garner 39% in the poll and he finishes ahead of Seamus O’Shea on 27%, […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com A bit later getting going today and it’s a nice Easter Monday up here in the capital weather-wise so I don’t intend to be chained to the laptop for long. Long enough, though, to do a quick gallop through the reports on yesterday’s back in yer box win over the Rossies. Here’s the collection: Locals: Mayo Advertiser (match […]
We’re not yet safe but neither are we a spent force. Roscommon came into this afternoon’s League Division One match at a waterlogged Hyde Park seeking to bury us but instead we showed them the mountain they’ll have to climb if they really want to compete with the big beasts of Gaelic football. It was far from a perfect performance […]
Right, our second last League match of 2016 takes place tomorrow and it’s another big one for us. As Stephen Rochford warned might be the case at the start of the year, our campaign has become very much a battle for Division One survival while Roscommon have taken to top tier spring football like the proverbial ducks to water. Already virtually […]
