We’ve already played Galway twice this year. First it was the pre-season FBD kickabout in the Dome in mid-January, followed by the more serious National League Round 1 meeting at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park at the end of that month. On Sunday, at Croke Park we lock horns with them once again as we compete for the National League’s Division […]
It would be remiss not to remark upon the news yesterday that Cora Staunton has announced her retirement from the AFLW, having played six seasons Down Under with Sydney club GWS Giants. When she left for Australia in 2017, Cora had already done more than enough in her LGFA career to seal her status as a legend of the fast-developing […]
It’s set to be a busy week for the county’s footballers, as they prepare for Sunday’s NFL Division One title decider against Galway. It’s going to be a hectic enough week for us on the Mayo Football Podcast too, as we count down the days to the big game at Croke Park. Here’s what we’ve planned for the podcast ahead […]
Only five of the players who lined out for us against Monaghan yesterday also did so in the previous match up in Donegal. One of this quintet – Sam Callinan – has been putting in solid performances ever since he first appeared in this League campaign, when he came on as a sub against Tyrone. Yesterday was his best performance […]
The GAA have now confirmed that this year’s National League Division One title decider, in which we’re up against Galway, will take place at Croke Park next Sunday. The League final throws in at 4pm that afternoon and it will be preceded by the Division Two decider between Derry and Dublin, which throws in at 1.45pm.
Mondays just aren’t the same when the match coverage concerns a defeat rather than a victory. But, never mind, summer time is back and we’re off to Croke Park for the League final on Sunday. Things could be a lot worse. Right, let’s dive into the online coverage of yesterday’s defeat to Monaghan as well as the LGFA win over […]
The lads may have had the luxury of not having to take something from today’s match in Castlebar but that wasn’t the case for the county’s women footballers, who had to get at least a draw from their final round Division One game this afternoon. It was either themselves or opponents Donegal for the drop arising from today’s match in […]
Well, that’s our unbeaten run gone. The supporting cast put in an understandably disjointed display this afternoon against a hugely motivated Monaghan team, for whom the wily Conor McManus up front ran the show. With Armagh losing at Tyrone, the visitors sensed another great escape in the offing and they finished strongly to claim a deserved six-points win and, with […]
Such is the ultra-competitive nature of Division One every year, Round 7 matches can so often be fraught affairs. We’ve had plenty of occasions ourselves where we’ve taken the pitch in the final round knowing we needed to get something from the game to stay up. It makes a pleasant change, then, that today’s Round 7 meeting with Monaghan at […]
Ahead of the start of this year’s Connacht Championship – and just before the National League final – we’re doing a live Mayo Football Podcast recording next Friday evening (31st March). The venue for this is Solan’s bar in Ballaghaderreen where Mike, Rob and I will be joined by a number of special guests from both sides of the Mayo/Roscommon […]
