“When two tribes go to war, a point is all that you can score.” Those lyrics – from “Two Tribes” by Frankie Goes To Hollywood – never particularly meant much to me during my 29 years of existence. Always a song I enjoyed but never one that I paid too much attention to the words of. However, in the past […]
Photo: The 42 (Inpho) Mayo eked out a two-point win over the Galway students in cold and wet conditions at Elvery’s MacHale Park earlier today, coming out on top on a 1-12 to 1-10 scoreline. It was not a vintage performance from the men in Red and Green but on January 3rd that was not necessarily the top priority. It was far […]
Okay, it’s getting closer now to the replay than the drawn match so it’s probably about time to start looking forward rather than back. Granted that is not the easiest thing during a replay week considering there is only a six-day turnaround. But we are well aware of what it is like to be involved in a replay week, something […]
Photo: @L0ftus21 via Twitter The scoreline from Elvery’s MacHale Park suggests a tight match in the Connacht U21 semi-final but in reality Galway were always in control and were never put under the cosh by their hosts. The Tribesmen could even afford to go the final 19 minutes of the game without registering a score and still run out comfortable […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com Mayo’s 2015 FBD campaign came to a disappointing end at Elverys MacHale Park this afternoon as Roscommon ran out deserving five-point winners over the home side on a glorious day for football. Mayo welcomed Kenneth O’Malley, Lee Keegan, Colm Boyle, Seamus O’Shea, Diarmuid O’Connor, Enda Varley and Darren Coen back to the team for the first time this season. […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com Mayo maintained their winning start to the season and placed almost both feet into the FBD final on Sunday when they overcame the students of IT Sligo in a cold and windy James Stephens Park in Ballina. Noel Connelly and Pat Holmes made a number of changes from the side which lined out against NUIG last week and […]
Four in a row. Whether it is four points in succession, four wins on the trot, four provincial titles in a row or four All-Ireland titles back to back it is a nice thing to be able to say. This Sunday Mayo welcome the old enemy Galway to our own hunting ground in MacHale Park as James Horan and his […]
Photo: Mayo Mick Roscommon ran out relatively convincing two-point winners in today’s final FBD League Group A match in the Michael Glavey GAA club grounds in Ballinlough this afternoon. A crowd of around 1,000 saw Roscommon’s superior fitness and cohesiveness prove the deciding factor as John Evans guided his side into the FBD final against Leitrim next Sunday. Mayo proved wasteful […]
Photo: Mayo Mick A wet and windy Bekan was the venue for Mayo’s second FBD game of the new season as they took on the students from IT Sligo. A last-minute penalty from Alan Freeman saw the host side share the spoils in what can certainly be described as a game of two halves. It finished in a 2-8 to […]
Photo: Mayo GAA Mayo came up trumps on their return to the football field this evening when they outgunned NUIG by three points on a scoreline of 0-12 to 1-06. The cold weather did not keep the Mayo faithful away as the sides played in front of a crowd of almost 2,000, further proof that the men in red and […]
