A piece by John Fogarty in the Irish Examiner today (here) confirms that the Mayo Senior footballers have been in contact with the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) to request that the Division One final be shifted from Sunday 2nd April to Saturday 1st. The players’ request apparently articulated concerns about the quick turnaround between the League final and […]
Later than usual on this occasion, it’s time to confirm details of the matches involving teams from the county that are taking place this coming weekend. There are two such games this time, both in football and both of which take place on Sunday afternoon. One’s at home and the other one is away, one of them involves the men’s […]
The revived Shannon Medals GAA Tournament takes place in Ballina this coming Saturday. The Tournament, which has been revived after a three-decade absence as part of the Ballina 2023 celebrations, will feature teams from Mayo, Tyrone, Donegal and Roscommon in what’s set to be an action-packed one-day football blitz. The Tournament, which is kindly sponsored by Joseph Murphy (Ballina) Limited, […]
Those of you who have already signed up as Mayo Football Podcast club members on Patreon will know that we’re chugging along nicely so far this year, doing what we can to keep step with the impressive swathe being cut in recent weeks by Kevin McStay’s New Model Mayo team. The condensed schedule of League matches has meant we’ve established […]
Okay, the Donegal game is now boxed away and so it’s onto our Round 7 match against Monaghan next Sunday. This one is back on home turf with throw-in at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park set for the earlier time of 1.45pm that afternoon, which will seem even earlier as the clocks will have gone forward the night before. Meath’s David […]
The votes are in and counted on the MOTM poll from yesterday’s hugely satisfying win over Donegal up in Ballybofey. This one had an obvious winner and it’s no surprise that you’ve voted Aidan O’Shea as our MOTM from the game. He was also selected for the honour on TG4 as well as being included in the GAA’s Team of […]
It’s a dreary, misty Monday morning in the west, more like November than the day on which the Spring Equinox falls. Despite this, there’s an undeniable spring in our collective step this morning. We’re still unbeaten, we’re in the Division One decider and we’re less than three weeks out from a Connacht SFC meeting with Roscommon, on Easter Sunday of […]
The other match involving Mayo today – the LGFA NFL Division One game against Galway – hasn’t got the focus it deserves, with all eyes on the lads and their match in Ballybofey. I’m not long in the door from the game at MacCumhaill Park so, sadly, the women’s match is only getting a brief mention here now but it’s […]
It’s been a long wait for us to record our first ever victory over Donegal on their home patch. That wait is now over following today’s demolition job over the O’Donnell County at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey, a venue where they’re notoriously difficult to beat but where we cantered to an eleven-point win today. While a first ever win for […]
It’s Round 6 in this year’s National League and this afternoon our lads take the field against Donegal at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey where throw-in is set for 3.45pm. Seán Hurson of Tyrone is the ref and the match is live on TG4. We snatched dramatic draws the last two times we played at this venue in the League but […]
