This morning’s draw for next weekend’s All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-finals pits us, once again, against Galway. Sunday’s match at Pearse Stadium (throw-in 3pm) will be our fourth meeting with the neighbours this year, having played them twice in this year’s National League and before that in the Dome in the pre-season FBD League. Seán Hurson of Tyrone is the ref […]
It’s almost beyond our collective memory – well, not quite, but it has been a while – since we last played in an FBD League final but this Friday evening at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence Air Dome we take on Roscommon in this year’s provincial pre-season decider. Throw-in at the Dome is 7.30pm on Friday. Tickets – a […]
We’re done with the Dubs, now it’s time to take aim at early pace-setters Armagh. Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon is our home-away-from-home on Sunday for our NFL Division One Round 4 clash with the Orchard County (throw-in 2pm). The match isn’t being shown live on TV but Midwest will have live radio commentary on it. Meath’s David Coldrick is […]
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 […]
Right, it’s Tuesday already so time to shift the focus on towards next weekend and our NFL Round 2 clash with Monaghan. This game takes place on Sunday at St Tiernach’s Park where throw-in is 2pm. Seán Hurson of Tyrone is the ref for it. The match isn’t on TV and isn’t been streamed either but Midwest will have radio […]
Time is ticking on towards Sunday and our opening match in this year’s National League. After a year’s absence we’re back in Division One this season and our Round 1 game on Sunday is against Donegal. With MacHale Park closed for pitch redevelopment works, it’s a home-from-home fixture at Sligo’s Markievicz Park, where throw-in is 1.45pm. The game will be […]
The Covid restrictions have been lifted, it’s back to full capacity at sporting grounds and the National League starts this coming weekend. Definitely time, then, for information on ticketing for the Donegal game at Markievicz Park on Sunday (throw-in 1.45pm). Mayo GAA released some information on this very topic earlier on today – that’s here. As we’re constantly being told, […]
Four months on from what most of us still regard as a bewildering All-Ireland final defeat to Tyrone, Mayo are back in inter-county action tomorrow evening. It’s just a pre-season outing but any match with Galway is likely to have a bit of a bite to it and this one will surely not be different. The FBD League semi-final between […]
It’s that time of the year, before the first bit of competitive action gets going, when I have a rummage through the traffic stats on the blog to illustrate what’s been happening on that front over the previous twelve months. Here’s the end-2021 position in that regard. The first thing to note is that, following the sharp Covid-induced decline in […]
We’re in that strange interregnum between Christmas and the New Year – remind me again: what day is today? – but once 2022 gets underway then so too does the resumption of inter-county action. Connacht GAA decided some weeks ago that all of the matches in the 2022 FBD League would take place at the Air Dome in the Centre […]
