It’s that Friday feeling time again, with our match against the Dubs to look forward to tomorrow night. It’s our first outing at HQ since last September whereas the Dubs are, of course, in almost permanent residence there. Here’s a thought for you now (one that came to me on the bike one morning recently, as I began to hallucinate […]
Right, I reckon it’s time to move on from the Kerry match and to start thinking about the next hurdle facing us in this year’s league campaign. This comes in the shape of an away match against Westmeath, the county currently propping up the Division One table with the game scheduled for Cusack Park in Mullingar. According to the GAA’s […]
I’d meant to post something here before now but, hey, the start of March today really felt like the onset of spring – we even managed to get our U9s out for their first league match of the year (after three false starts with pitches closed over the last three weekends) – and there was plenty of other stuff to […]

A few bits of info about Sunday’s game in […]
With our opening league match now less than a week away there are a few things to get through, which I meant to do earlier on but then work intervened. First bit of news is that Clare’s Rory Hickey will ref Sunday’s match. Checking through the archive, it looks like it’s been a while since we’ve had him doing one […]

The group, which its website states is ‘by Mayo GAA fans for Mayo GAA fans’, was formed in October this […]
