Today’s Championship opener was the first match the Mayo LGFA team had played since March but there wasn’t a trace of lethargy in their performance. Far from it, in fact, as they positively blew away Tyrone this afternoon at Pairc Sean MacDiarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon, winning by 4-17 to 0-4. Leading the charge for the ladies today in Carrick was Sarah […]
We’ve two football Championship matches involving the county on this weekend. The first of these takes place this afternoon, with the Mayo ladies in action against Tyrone in the LGFA Senior football Championship. This match takes place at Pairc Sean MacDiarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon where throw-in is set for 1pm today. The game is being streamed live on the Ladies Football […]
Once again it’s time to start thinking about the weekend to come and the Championship games that are set to be contested. The hurlers have this one off, as their Rackard Cup semi-final isn’t scheduled to take place until Saturday week (14th November). In that game, by the way, they’ll face either Leitrim or Longford, with those two set to […]
Storm Aidan blew hard across the country today and up at Healy Park in Omagh this afternoon the county’s hurlers were in storming form as well. They blew away Tyrone by 1-24 to 0-9 in Round 2A of the Rackard Cup, securing a home semi-final as a reward for their labours. The match was streamed live from Healy Park by […]
Seeing as it’s Tuesday we’re officially no longer allowed to mope any more about Sunday’s result but are compelled instead to look ahead to the matches that are down for decision this coming weekend. And sure why shouldn’t we be looking to the future? It’s Hallowe’en so it must be a Championship weekend. There’s Championship action on in both hurling […]
Doing a post on our Man of the Match always jars a bit when it involves a game we’ve lost and the feeling is all the more pronounced on this occasion seeing as yesterday’s defeat meant our relegation from Division One of the National League. The basic premise of the exercise remains valid, however, in that it helps to illuminate […]
Mayo have come out the right side of several dramatic final round games in the National League in recent years. On the law of averages, it had to be the case that one day the county’s luck would run out and that day was yesterday as a brave comeback against Tyrone came up just short and so, after 23 years, […]
Right, let’s start with some positivity – it’s a Bank Holiday Monday and the sun is shining outside. And next spring – if it’s in the spring that the National League next year will be contested – we’ll get to rub shoulders with all our besties from the qualifiers. Clare, Cork, Down, Kildare – what a fun we’ll have together. […]
Tyrone have finally named their starting fifteen for this afternoon’s game. It’s a strong enough team too, by the looks of it, with the bulk of those who featured against Donegal once more on duty today. Here’s the team they’ve named: Tyrone (NFL Division One v Mayo, 25/10/2020): Niall Morgan; Liam Rafferty, Ronan McNamee, Darragh Canavan; Tiernan McCann, Kieran McGeary, […]
What a difference a week makes. Ahead of throw-in at Tuam last Sunday, it looked like we had a mountain to climb to retain our National League top tier status. Seventy minutes of football later and a crushing win in the bag, our task of engineering another Round 7 great escape doesn’t look quite so daunting now. Today’s opponents are […]
