Yesterday’s dramatic comeback win over Armagh yesterday was, in essence, a team achievement. Several players came to the fore as we battled it out with the Orchard County at Dr Hyde Park, eventually overwhelming them with a late unanswered scoring burst of five points. That made the MOTM poll for the game an interesting one, as there wasn’t an obvious […]
The bad news is that it’s Monday morning once again. The good news, however, is that there’s a bit of online coverage about what was, for the greater part, a successful weekend for the county. Here goes: Men’s win over Armagh Locals: Connaught Telegraph, Mayo Advertiser, Belfast Live (live blog). Nationals: Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Irish Independent, Irish Sun, Irish […]
How many times have we seen Mayo struggle in the League against suffocating Ulster opposition in games where we eventually fell to frustrating defeat? That seemed to be the narrative for long stretches in today’s Round 4 clash with Armagh at Dr Hyde Park but the difference today was that we eventually found a way to win. The stand was […]
The 2022 National League campaign is already at the halfway stage. Indeed, once this weekend’s Round 4 matches are over, it’ll be past the halfway mark, with the pace picking up visibly week on week. Today we welcome Armagh to Dr Hyde Park – this weekend’s temporary home venue for us – for what’s a meeting between two of the […]

In different ways, I think we’re all finding the unwinding of Covid measures a bit strange. Do we really want to go without masks on public transport? Who, in truth, wants to return to commuting and the office five days a week? And how on earth are we going to live without having every GAA match either broadcast or streamed […]
