The weekend is upon us once again and more on-field activity awaits. The U21s play tomorrow and then the seniors take the field on Sunday. The U21s have their second match in the North-West Cup. This one is against Donegal, which throws in at James Stephens Park in Ballina tomorrow at 2.30pm. With both of the teams involved tomorrow having […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com So the winter suntans are fading fast and our first proper inter-county match of the year takes place this coming Sunday, against Roscommon in Kiltoom (throw-in 2pm). The game will most likely be our final pre-season one, as only a right thumping of the Rossies will be enough for us to make the final of this year’s FBD […]
Photos: MichaelMaye.com Another Monday, more match reports. I could get into the swing of this, you know. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph. Nationals: Irish Independent, Irish Examiner, Irish Times (FBD round-up report). Photos: Mayo Mick, Sportsfile. Colm Gannon of the Mayo Advertiser also nabbed Stephen Rochford after the game to get his reaction to the performance. Audio and video on […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com James Stephens Park in Ballina was the venue today for the county’s second outing in this year’s pre-season FBD League. A winning run-out it proved to be too with the lads never really troubled at any stage as they ambled to a six-point win over the students. It finished 1-21 to 1-15. You’ll forgive me, I’m sure, a small […]
Photo: @L0ftus21 (via Twitter) If you’re heading to James Stephens Park this afternoon, you’re most likely on your way already but, in case you’re not (or are planning on making a late, late dash there), here, courtesy of the Mayo News, are details of the two playing panels for today’s FBD match against IT Sligo: Here are the teamsheets from […]
It’s Thursday already and, with the weekend drawing near, so too is the action slated for Saturday and Sunday. Mind you, the snow’s apparently on the way too, though the worst of the cold blast appears to be due to hit later on today and tomorrow so maybe playing conditions will be okay for the weekend. There’s a definite Yeatsian flavour […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com It’s Monday, there was a game yesterday so, yes folks, that can only mean one thing – the return of the Monday match reports. Because it’s only the FBD the pickings are a bit on the miserly side but here they are. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph. Nationals: Irish Independent, Irish Times, Irish Examiner. Post-match quotes from Stephen […]
Photo: @L0ftus21 The FBD League is traditionally a time for experimentation but, with almost the entire 2016 senior panel away on holidays at the minute, 2017 started this afternoon for Stephen Rochford and his selectors with the most comprehensive appraisal of fringe players seen for many years. Given this, it’s not surprising that the county’s first outing of the year […]
I love procrastinating. In the run up to Christmas I had exams galore to study for and assignments by the score to finish off. Instead of doing something remotely academic with my time, I turned my attention completely to something else. I am currently doing a Masters in Journalism in NUIG and 60% of one of our modules (broadcasting) is […]
As the bush telegraph here on the site had already signalled earlier on today, it’s now been confirmed officially that tomorrow’s U21 North-West Cup match against Derry is off, due to the Oakleafers’ withdrawal from the tournament. Here’s the official confirmation of the cancellation: Due to the withdrawal of @Doiregaa from the U21 North West Cup Mayo’s U21 game scheduled […]
