Our 1-9 to 0-8 win over the Rossies in the FBD this afternoon was enough to guarantee us a place in the final where next month we’ll face the FBD league specialists, Galway. But the result from this afternoon that everyone in the county will be talking about came at Pearse Park, Longford, where Kiltimagh overcame Monaghan’s Emyvale by 1-10 […]
So tomorrow we square up to Roscommon (well, sort of – do matches in the FBD really constitute competitive outings?) for the first time since we gave them the mother, father and little baby bear of a hiding in last year’s Connacht semi-final. Victory tomorrow won’t count for a whole lot – the Rossies’ FBD win over us last January […]
Speaking with Ed McGreal of the Mayo News after Sunday’s draw with IT Sligo, Johnno admitted that the FBD was never a target for us this season (when has it ever been?) but neither has it been used for the kind of widespread experimentation that we’ve witnessed in recent years. Instead, the secondary provincial tournament is, he says, being used […]
This is just a quick update to provide links to the various match reports on yesterday’s FBD draw with IT Sligo. Pride of place, once more, goes to my blogging buddy TIALTNGO for this detailed account of proceedings at Fr O’Hara Park, while this report from Colm Gannon in the Mayo Advertiser and this one from Mike Finnerty in the […]
Well, our unbeaten record in 2010 could still be intact come the end of January but our 100% record for the year went by the board this afternoon at Fr O’Hara Park in Charlestown where we had to settle for a 1-11 each draw with IT Sligo in the FBD League. It was a match in which we led for […]
Our second FBD match takes place this coming Sunday at Charlestown where we face IT Sligo (not Sligo IT, as I’ve incorrectly been calling them since, I guess, the inception of this site) in what the Red Tops could, if they decided to focus on the FBD, label as a mouth-watering, top-of-the-table (the Section A table, like), winner-takes-all showdown. Seeing […]
I’ve just done a quick cybersweep for match reports on yesterday’s FBD encounter with NUIG and it looks like there isn’t a whole load out there. There’s nothing at all in the Irish Times (in their role as regional paper for the East, they have more than enough to be doing in filing reports on the Dublin and Kildare matches, […]
For the first time in the Johnno II era, we’ve managed to start the year with a win, beating NUIG in the first round of the FBD by 0-11 to 0-9 at Garrymore. I didn’t make it across the Shannon today and so had to put up with very infrequent updates and some very gauche musical choices from Angelina on […]
Midwest are reporting that a decision on whether or not our opening league match next month will go ahead as planned under lights on Saturday, February 6th, will not now be made until early next week. Sean Feeney was quoted on Tuesday’s Indo saying that the position would be clarified within a “day or two” but a spokesman for the […]
It’s been a hectic day Chez WJ, what with the sudden end to the extended school holidays for the chisellers and the fact that it’s our eldest’s birthday (oh my, how the years have flown), not to mention all this work that keeps reminding me it hasn’t been done yet. And this weather: fuck me, there we were at the […]
