Ever since the final whistle sounded at Croke Park on Sunday before last, Mayo fans have been coming to terms with the county’s exit from this year’s Championship, with Dublin defeating them comfortably at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage. On the Mayo Football Podcast we’ve been analysing the reasons why Mayo slumped to such a comprehensive loss that day and what […]
At half-time in today’s All-Ireland quarter-final, we were well in the game. We’d had plenty of the ball in the opening half and although we’d been rocked, yet again, by a Dublin goal, we’d fought back really well after that. We’d even had a goal disallowed ourselves, which I’m told TV replays confirmed was the right decision. By the end […]
It’s going back a decade at this stage but, for a number of years before that, the August Bank Holiday weekend was arguably the best weekend of the year for Gaelic football. This was because the four All-Ireland quarter-finals were run off over successive days, in the form of two double-headers at Croke Park. It was a time to pig […]
The GAA have now confirmed fixture details for next weekend. Our All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Dublin will be played at Croke Park on Sunday, where throw-in will be 4pm. David Gough of Meath will ref it. The Derry/Cork quarter-final will also be played that day, with that game throwing in at 1.45pm. Joe McQuillan has the whistle for that one. […]
When we last won the National League, back in 2019, our victory that day was due in no small part to a heroic display by goalkeeper Rob Hennelly. Yesterday at Croke Park our current netminder Colm Reape put in an even more outstanding performance, with his five goal-stopping saves being in large part the difference between defeat and victory for […]
We’re the National League champions once again. Our three-point win over Galway at Croke Park this afternoon saw us claim NFL honours for the second time in five seasons and for the thirteenth time in all. It was a deserved win too in what was in large part a rather muted contest, in which both sides tended to pull their […]
We’re back at Croke Park this afternoon – for the first time since last June’s All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Kerry – and we’re back competing for a national title. Galway provide the opposition in this afternoon’s National League Division One final and Kildare’s Brendan Cawley is the ref for a game that throws in at HQ at 4pm today and […]

It’s set to be a busy week for the county’s footballers, as they prepare for Sunday’s NFL Division One title decider against Galway. It’s going to be a hectic enough week for us on the Mayo Football Podcast too, as we count down the days to the big game at Croke Park. Here’s what we’ve planned for the podcast ahead […]
