The men’s Championship run may be over for the year but for the women it’s all still to play for, as the LGFA Championship reaches the knockout stage. Finishing second in their group meant that Michael Moyles’ team would face an away quarter-final and on Sunday they were drawn to face Galway. The teams have, of course, already met this […]
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 […]
It’s not every day of the week that the county wins an All-Ireland title. Today was one of those rare days, when the Mayo U16 camogie team overcame the challenge of Cavan in this afternoon’s All-Ireland U16D camogie final. This All-Ireland title decider, played at Coralstown GAA club, Kinnegad, finished in an emphatic 4-12 to 1-3 victory for the Green […]
Early in the second half of today’s entertaining LGFA Senior Championship group match between Mayo and Cavan at Pearse Park in Longford, everything seemed to be going in the right way from our point of view. We led by eight points at that stage and looked well on course to seal the win that would guarantee the team’s place in […]
Another Friday rolls around, with the weekend up ahead once more. It’s another one that sees Mayo teams in Championship action, with both matches involving the county’s women. Both pf this weekend’s matches are, coincidentally, against Cavan. Tomorrow it’s a meeting of Mayo and Cavan in the Premier Junior Camogie Championship. This match takes place at St Patrick’s Park, Westport, […]
The county’s women footballers made a winning start this afternoon to the group stage in this year’s LGFA All-Ireland Championship. In a first round Group A match played at MacHale Park they proved far too strong for Tipperary and ran out winners by 1-16 to 1-6. The Premier County bagged the opening score of the game, pointing soon after the […]
The men weren’t the only ones in action today as the county’s women footballers also had a League Division One match this afternoon. The LGFA match took place in Tuam against neighbours Galway and it ended in an emphatic win for Michael Moyles’ team, as they came out on top by 6-6 to 2-8. Sinéad Walsh – lining out for […]
Cavan official Joe McQuillan was today confirmed as the referee for this year’s All-Ireland final. It’s the fourth time the Kill Shamrocks clubman will officiate in a decider, having first done so for the Dublin/Kerry final in 2011. He was also in charge of two finals involving us, in 2013 and 2017, both against Dublin. Linesmen for the decider on […]
It was tense and it was tight but in the end Mayo’s camogie team emerged with a two-point victory over Tyrone in today’s Nancy Murray Cup final. They won today’s decider, played at Páirc Seán MacDiarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon, by 3-8 to 1-12. Early on it looked as if Mayo – back competing at inter-county level in camogie this year after […]
The county’s Minors were narrowly beaten by Cavan in today’s All-Ireland Minor C Camogie final, losing out to the Breffni County at Markievicz Park by 2-5 to 0-8. As I was at Croke Park myself today I didn’t get to see today’s decider, though when I checked in on the live stream shortly before half-time they were well in it, […]
