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 […]
It’s always nice to wake up on the morning after a win over the neighbours and to think back on what happened the day before. Yes, we won. Yes, we knocked them out of the Championship: that’s the fourth time we’ve done this since 2019. Yes, we’re in the hat for this morning’s All-Ireland quarter-final draw. It’s all a bit […]
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), […]
We’ve a huge match on this Sunday, the one everyone is focused on, but it’s not the only game involving the county that’s on this weekend. Here’s a quick run-down on all the Mayo matches taking place over the weekend to come (and a little bit beyond). The action gets underway on Friday evening when the Mayo Masters take on […]
The group stage of the LGFA SFC Championship got underway this weekend. We’re in Group 1 with Armagh and Laois and these two counties met today in the opening round. Armagh won this afternoon’s encounter at O’Moore Park by 3-12 to 2-8. The Orchard County – who lined out without their star turn Aimee Mackin, though she joined the fray […]
The GAA are still resolutely refusing to show their hand on when and where the Round 3 fixtures in the All-Ireland SFC group stage will be played but the dates for our two LGFA All-Ireland SFC group stage matches were confirmed yesterday and so too today were details of our Minor All-Ireland quarter-final against Monaghan. In the LGFA Championship we’re […]
Two provincial finals played in Ulster today confirmed Mayo’s next opponents in both the LGFA Senior football Championship and the Minor football Championship. The LGFA Ulster Championship was won today by Donegal, who beat Armagh in the final at Owenbeg by 1-10 to 0-9. The result was a bit of a surprise and it means that Armagh will be in […]
The warm glow of victory in Killarney hasn’t yet subsided properly – although Jim McGuinness’s asinine nonsense in the Irish Times this morning about our “lack of a marquee forward” injected a stab of grumpiness in my mood today – but already the focus is shifting towards this coming weekend and more Mayo matches. It’s a weekend off for the […]
