Photo: MichaelMaye.com Two days on from the Galway game, it’s still difficult to think beyond the horrific injury suffered during the match by Tom Parsons. I think many of us – myself included – are concentrating less on the result of the game, and where it leaves us, and more on Tom and the long way back he faces from […]
Photo: Mayo News The Mayo News has tonight come out with two exclusives concerning high-profile moves within the club scene. One is on the playing side and the other relates to management. The player in question is Donal Vaughan, with Mike Finnerty reporting (here) that he’s in the process of completing a transfer from Ballinrobe to Castlebar Mitchels. Ballinrobe dropped […]

Truth be told, it’s because I’m so gobsmacked about the facts in the story that Lee felt compelled to reveal to Mike Finnerty in this week’s Mayo News and which Mike […]
Photo: Irish Mirror (Inpho/James Crombie) The match is over and, painful though it is for us to admit it, Dublin won. They’re the champions.

Okay boys and girls, today’s the day: our first proper championship match in over ten months. Is it any wonder we’re all as pumped as we are, having had to wait so long for the serious stuff to start again (and, when it does, hoping that it won’t be over too soon either)? It’s as bad as waiting for Santie […]
I could end up sounding like Old Mr Brennan extolling the virtues of Facebook here but not to worry, the Lord loves a trier and all that. A few more tech-savvy friends of mine have been blathering on at me for some time now about Twitter so, in the spirit of constant innovation and all that, I’ve decided to give […]
