To be exact, it was the night before Mayo’s All-Ireland semi-final clash with Tipperary. On the weekend of the final she came to Dublin and met my sister for the very first time and, while she […]
It might only be the middle of January but yesterday we had a club from the county contesting an All-Ireland title while the Mayo footballers were beating Galway in the FBD, having earlier in the day reportedly also got the better of Westmeath with another county team in a separate pre-season joust. Time for the return of the match reports […]
Tooreen gave it absolutely everything in this evening’s All-Ireland Intermediate club hurling final against Monaleen of Limerick at Croke Park but suffered heartbreak at the finish as they were overhauled in the closing stages. They lost at the end by just two points, on a scoreline of 1-17 to 1-15. This was a marvellous performance by the tight-knit, hard battling […]
There has, understandably, been a significant amount of media coverage following Lee Keegan’s retirement announcement yesterday. It’s a testament to the esteem in which Lee is held that the prevailing narrative throughout all this coverage is one that extols the leadership qualities and never-say-die attitude that made Lee such a fans’ favourite, not just among Mayo people but for followers […]

In it, Lee himself makes clear the rationale for his decision. He’s got family commitments, with two small children, and so he feels unable to give the required time to inter-county […]

Tooreen are on their way to Croker. Their All-Ireland Intermediate hurling Championship semi-final against Liatrom Fontenoys of Down finally went ahead at Breffni Park in Cavan this afternoon, having been put back by 24 hours due to the then prevailing sub-zero temperatures. With the cold snap over this morning, the pitch was fine for action today. Tooreen really looked to […]
