Photo: ztopics.com Our second FBD League match takes place this coming Sunday, when we play host to IT Sligo at James Stephens Park, Ballina. It will, by the way, be the first time since we entertained the Dubs there in the League in March 2009 that a senior inter-county match will have been played at that venue. Throw-in on Sunday […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com It’s Monday, it’s back to reality but, with the football back, it’s also time for the Monday match reports to reappear. Mind you, such was the sterling job that Digits did on yesterday’s opening FBD game – and in short order too, his piece on the match against NUIG was in my inbox before 6pm yesterday – I’m […]
Photo: @MayoGAA Having sworn blind coming out of Limerick last August that I was retiring from this supporter’s business, here I was rolling up to Castlebar on the 3rd of January to write up a match report on the first round of our FBD league campaign. According to my (non-Mayo) spouse, you can’t keep a good Mayo person down. So […]

We’re into 2015, it’s already Sunday (just about) and we’re back at base having made it as far as Clare Island to see in the New Year. (The photo above, by the way, was taken on the ferry back to the mainland on Friday afternoon). And the football is about to begin again. It already has, of course, with the […]
Image: messagequotes.com It’s not yet New Year’s Eve but we’re up and off early in the morning to catch the New Year’s festivities way out west. This, then, is just a brief one to say farewell to the old hag of a year that has a day and a bit left to go as the world and its spouse starts to […]
The County Board confirmed yesterday via Twitter the dates, times and venues for our 2015 FBD League campaign, which is now just over the horizon early in the New Year. As was the case this year, we’re bracketed with NUIG, IT Sligo and Roscommon for the coming year’s pre-season round of matches. This time, though, all of our matches are home […]
Whatever about the upcoming County Convention, it sure feels like a very becalmed time right now from a Mayo GAA perspective, which, for me is just as well as it’s far from becalmed at the minute from a work point of view. But, then again, there’s only just over a month until the 2015 inter-county season gets going (sort of) […]
I’m off on a work trip for a few days from tomorrow which involves my leaving my bed at a ludicrously early hour so ahead of this here are a few developments of note to keep you going. January’s FBD fixtures have been announced – details here. So the Patandnoel era will officially get going with a match against NUIG […]
