Well, hands up all those of you who saw that coming. I did have the idle thought ahead of throw-in today that, if we started well in today’s All-Ireland semi-final with Tipperary, we might just gut them but I still didn’t expect it to happen. But gut them we did and this game was well over as a contest before […]
This article first appeared in this week’s edition of the Mayo News as the ‘On the Road’ piece in the sports supplement – it’s here. I could, I suppose, say that at this stage the car knows how to drive itself from our house in Dublin down to Castlebar but, of course, self-driving technology isn’t there yet. With three cross-country […]
At half-time this game couldn’t end quickly enough for us. Thoroughly outplayed in a chastening opening period, a hammering at the hands of a lively, inventive Kerry looked more a probability than a possibility. Few of us in the 8,069 crowd that had gathered in perishingly cold weather for this match could have predicted what was to unfold after the […]

It was announced a short while ago that the LGFA NFL Division One match against Cork is now OFF. The venue had been switched to Mallow but the incessant rain clearly has won out on this occasion and so the game has had to be postponed. Here’s the official announcement. ? POSTPONED Sunday’s @lidl_ireland National League Division 1 fixture between […]
Given the incessantly inclement weather we’ve been enduring in recent weeks, late venues changes for matches have understandably become more common. Once again there are a few to report this weekend, with tomorrow’s LGFA game against Cork and the NHL one against Offaly now going ahead at altered locations. For the women, the switch sees their LGFA NFL Division One […]

Sporting fixtures today and tomorrow are being hit hard and it was announced earlier on that the venue for tomorrow’s NHL Division 2A clash with Wicklow has been has now been changed to the Connacht Centre of Excellence in Bekan. Throw-in remains 1pm tomorrow. There’s no word yet […]
