It sounds like there were pluses and minuses to be taken from yesterday’s performance at Ballinlough. The Indo’s match report gushes about Alan Dillon’s seven-point haul but as No One Shouted Stop! mentions in his report ( a point that PJ also raised when we spoke after the game yesterday), he kicked at least as many wides as well. The […]
This most certainly couldn’t be how one might describe my airline travel yesterday and today (two hour delays in either direction because of that 777 that crash-landed just inside the perimeter fence at Heathrow on Thursday) but instead relates to our result today coupled with NUIG’s win over Sligo IT. We beat the Sheepstealers handily enough today (according to my […]
Willie Joe is stuck in an airport at the moment, and has asked me to post the result of the FBD match against the Sheepstealers. A win for Mayo, 2-14 to 2-8. Once WJ gets back, he’ll update with the details.
Well, what do you expect on a wet Friday in January? Work, bloody work, that’s what’s going on. Too much of it, in fact, so this needs to be a quick one. Nothing really to report on from God’s Own County, except to repeat the reference I made in response to a comment yesterday from The Other Mayo Blogger (we’re […]
That’s enough! Stop that hootin’ and hollerin’ for the love and honour of the The Good Sweet Lord. It’s only the FBD. But, according to this article in the Western, we could still (gasp!) qualify for the final of it. The way we could do this would be for Sligo IT to beat NUIG and then for us to hammer […]
This morning’s papers confirm that our final FBD outing for 2008 will take place this Sunday when we face Roscommon at Ballinlough (throw-in 2pm). The FBD seems to be the only place where we encounter the Sheepstealers these days as we haven’t met them otherwise since the Connacht semi-final back in 2005. So while Johnno and John Maughan have locked […]
It’s Mayo News time again, hombres. Here’s Mike Finnerty’s upbeat match report from Sunday and here’s a good in-depth assessment from Sean Rice about how each of the players fared. His comments about how BJP, Trevor Howley, Seamus O’Shea and Mickey Mullins performed are fairly encouraging and he also notes that the whole team was a lot more physical than […]
Here’s the team that lined out at Charlestown, courtesy of new Mayo GAA blogger No one shouted Stop! (the more blogs, the merrier, in my view: now all we need are a few blogs from other counties to join in the fun) who, unlike myself, was at yesterday’s game. The team was: Shane Nallen; John Brogan, Billy Joe Padden, Aidan […]
There’s very little in the national papers this morning (well, the online versions any road) about yesterday’s FBD win over Sligo IT. This (from the Indo) is as good as it gets. Alan Dillon (who scored five points) and Brian Benson (1-2) did most of the damage, with two points coming from Mickey Mullins and one each from BJ, Austie […]
Sorry, couldn’t resist that: Mayo beat Sligo IT by 1-12 to 1-6 this afternoon at Charlestown in the FBD League. That’s about all the details I have, I’m afraid, as I wasn’t listening in on it on MWR. I guess there’ll be more in the papers tomorrow on the team and who scored. Failing that, there’s always the ever-dependable Mayo […]
