Everything was on the line for the county’s women footballers at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park as nothing other than a win over Laois in this afternoon’s final group stage match would have kept Mayo’s season alive. In the end, they did so handsomely, crushing the challenge of the O’Moore County by 2-15 to 0-8 to advance to the All-Ireland quarter-finals […]
Just six days after their last outing, the county’s women footballers are back in Championship action again tomorrow. Laois provide the opposition at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park tomorrow afternoon, where throw-in is 1.30pm. The match is being shown live on RTÉ and tickets for the game are available to purchase here. With Armagh having already beaten both ourselves and Laois […]
There was late drama as well in the other game involving the county today but sadly this one went the other way. Armagh had fought back from five down at the Athletic Grounds but were still a point in arrears when they were awarded a last-minute penalty, which Aimee Mackin converted to secure a 2-10 to 1-11 win. The win […]
So, after weeks of Championship action where it’s been a case of dancing round the proverbial handbags, with not a bit of jeopardy in sight, the body count has suddenly started to rise. Yesterday the Rossies, Kildare and Donegal all bit the dust and this afternoon at Salthill either ourselves or Galway will follows suit. This means our meeting at […]
A bit earlier this evening we named our team for tomorrow’s LGFA All-Ireland SFC group stage match against Armagh. The game throws in at the Athletic Grounds at 3.30pm tomorrow and is being shown live on TG4. Here’s the team we’ve named for it: Mayo (LGFA All-Ireland SFC v Armagh, 25/6/2023): Laura Brennan (Hollymount); Éilis Ronayne (Davitts), Róisín Flynn (Knockmore), […]
As we, not without difficulty, alter our focus towards Salthill, where on Sunday we face a do-or-die meeting with Galway, we’re being forced to confront more than a few painful home truths. Where has our great form in the early part of the year gone to? Is our National League success going to be followed, not for the first time, […]
This morning’s draw for next weekend’s All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-finals pits us, once again, against Galway. Sunday’s match at Pearse Stadium (throw-in 3pm) will be our fourth meeting with the neighbours this year, having played them twice in this year’s National League and before that in the Dome in the pre-season FBD League. Seán Hurson of Tyrone is the ref […]
The rationale for fixing our All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-final match against Galway for next Sunday appears to have been prompted by the Tribesmen’s All-Ireland SHC meeting with Tipperary on Saturday, a match that’s been confirmed for the Gaelic Grounds at 6.15pm that evening, part of a double-header that also features Clare and Dublin. While that’s fine as it goes – […]
Right, with the focus already re-fixed towards the match facing us next Sunday, let’s get this final bit of business from yesterday’s game squared away. Jordan Flynn – that’s him claiming primary possession in the photo above – is our MOTM from yesterday’s hugely disappointing game against Cork. The Crossmolina man was our only player to leave the Gaelic Grounds […]
With the draw for the preliminary quarter-finals on at 8.30 this morning, we’ve precious little time to be looking back to yesterday’s car-crash defeat to Cork. In truth, that’s no harm, even if within the camp there’s now a massive job to be done in a short space of time to get us up for next weekend. Here’s a quick […]
