Playing the All-Ireland less than a week before Christmas Day has its advantages. With all the Yuletide running around I’ve had to do since Saturday, I haven’t had much time at all to brood on the result. I’m well over it all now. I’ve only popped my head in here the odd time as well since Sunday, for the same […]
The one-point loss to Kerry at MacHale Park wasn’t, I’m afraid, the county’s only loss in competitive action today. We also went under in the two other games we played this afternoon. The women’s football team were beaten by Cork in their NFL LGFA Division One match at Mallow. Leading by two points at the break, Mayo found the going […]
This article first appeared in this week’s edition of the Mayo News as the ‘On the Road’ piece in the sports supplement. Talk of change was in the air all day on Sunday, blown along by a gale force wind that roared in from the west. Storm Ciara’s high winds made Mayo’s League clash with Meath a game of two […]
This was always going to be an easy one to sort. As I said in our post-match chat on the podcast, there was only ever going to be one winner in the Man of the Match poll on the Meath game yesterday. That’s the way it panned out and that winner is Kevin McLoughlin. The Knockmore man’s late salvo of […]
The wild weather may have meant that the quality of football at Páirc Tailteann yesterday wasn’t hectic but the result we came away with was, from our perspective, pretty satisfying. It’s worth, then, to have a look back at the coverage of our nail-biting one-point victory over Meath. Here’s what’s online about the game, as well as the U20 match […]
The high winds whipped up by Storm Ciara blew hard at Pairc Tailteann in Navan on Sunday. Out on the pitch, Mayo had to withstand a second half storm brewed up by Meath but Kevin McLoughlin was on hand to quell the tempest as the visitors emerged with a precious one-point win. In this episode of the Mayo News football […]
When Meath banged home their second goal with a little over fifteen minutes to go, our goose looked well and truly cooked at Páirc Tailteann today. The too-small first half lead we’d built up with the aid of the wind had been squandered and it appeared then that we’d struggle even to add to our opening half tally. A dispiriting […]
With all the focus in the lead-up on Storm Ciara and whether or not today’s match against Meath would go ahead – it will, this was confirmed earlier this morning – it’s easy to forget about the significance of this clash in Navan. That would be wrong because, in the context of how this League campaign pans out for us, […]
