With our second emphatic win in a week, the coverage we’re getting at the minute makes for easy reading. I’ve a particular interest myself in seeing the reports on last night’s match, as I wasn’t at it and only caught some of the first half on Midwest. I’m really looking forward to sitting down in front of the TV and […]
I’ve only got time for a very quick mention for the county’s women footballers, whose match against Dublin at DCU ended a short while ago. Dublin won by four, on a scoreline of 2-11 to 2-7. A four-point loss didn’t look on the cards midway through the second half, though, as the visitors had at that stage put themselves into […]
Earlier on today we named our team to play Dublin tomorrow in the LGFA’s NFL Division One. Here’s the team we’ve picked for this one: Mayo (LGFA NFL Division One v Dublin, 25/2/2023): Laura Brennan (Hollymount); Éilis Ronayne (Davitts), Róisín Flynn (Knockmore), Danielle Caldwell (Castlebar Mitchels); Ciara Needham (Westport), Fiona Tierney (Carnacon), Kathryn Sullivan (Castlebar Mitchels, captain); Clodagh McManamon (Burrishoole), […]
It’s only Monday but already we need to start thinking about the matches coming up next weekend. There are three of them, two on Saturday and one on Sunday, and here are the essential details about these games. First a heads-up on the U20 footballers, who aren’t playing this weekend. The original fixture schedule for the Leo Murphy Cup had […]
Every year since 2012 – bar 2018 – we’ve lost to the eventual winner of the Sam Maguire. That’s going to be the case this year too but we don’t yet know if that team will be Galway or Kerry. Enough about us. The last two days were all about the two counties who have made it through to this […]
Well, that’s it for another year at Senior level, as we exited tamely from the Championship yesterday to Kerry at the quarter-final stage. It’s not all doom and gloom, of course, as the Minors have an All-Ireland final to look forward to in two weeks time and the women are still in it too. Here’s what’s online about the weekend’s […]
Both Mayo and Dublin were already safely through to this year’s LGFA All-Ireland quarter-finals ahead of their final round group meeting at O’Moore Park in Portlaoise this evening. At stake in this game, though, was victory in Group A, with the winners handed a less taxing assignment in the quarters in two weeks time. Three points in arrears at half-time, […]
We’ve just named our team for Sunday’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Kerry. Here it is: Mayo (All-Ireland SFC quarter-final v Kerry, 26/6/2022): Rob Hennelly (Breaffy); Lee Keegan (Westport), Oisín Mullin (Kilmaine), Enda Hession (Garrymore); Paddy Durcan (Castlebar Mitchels), Stephen Coen (Hollymoint/Carramore, captain), Eoghan McLaughlin (Westport); Aidan O’Shea (Breaffy), Matthew Ruane (Breaffy); Jordan Flynn (Crossmolina Deel Rovers), Diarmuid O’Connor (Ballintubber), Conor Loftus […]
Yet another football weekend is careering in our direction, another one in which Mayo has plenty of skin in the game. More than most weekends, in fact. I always used to love All-Ireland quarter-final weekend and I often pitched up at Croke Park both days to see the two sets of double-headers being contested by the final eight in the […]
The GAA earlier on today confirmed fixture details for the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals. The four ties will, as expected, be played as two double-headers the weekend after next. Clare and Derry meet on Saturday 25th June at 3.45pm, followed by Dublin and Cork at 6pm. Both of those games will be broadcast on Sky. Then on Sunday 26th, Galway and […]
