It’s almost beyond our collective memory – well, not quite, but it has been a while – since we last played in an FBD League final but this Friday evening at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence Air Dome we take on Roscommon in this year’s provincial pre-season decider. Throw-in at the Dome is 7.30pm on Friday. Tickets – a […]
This is a job I should have done a while back but, for a number of reasons, it remained stubbornly on the to-do list. With the New Year all but here, though, it’s one I can’t put off any longer. Which means I’ve now, at last, shifted the 2022 results page into the blog’s results archive (here) where it becomes […]
We’re now just a week out from the Galway game so it’s definitely time to turn the beams in the direction of this one. Just seven days on from Easter Sunday, our meeting with Galway in the quarter-final of the Conancht SFC is a pivotal Championship encounter for both of us. With the back door restored this year, defeat isn’t […]
The lads have the weekend off (well, the footballers do, the hurlers are playing London over in Ruislip) so it’s the turn of the county’s women footballers to take the limelight for a bit. Their National League campaign gets going on Saturday evening, with a home fixture in Division One against Westmeath in the Connacht GAA Air Dome (throw-in 7pm). […]
Seated between one of my best friends (and by complete fluke) the priest who baptised me, I watched as a scene I have seen several times before in Croke Park play out in front of me. If I wasn’t going to hell before this, the amount of effs and blinding at missed chances I let out beside the man of […]
As you know by now, over on the podcast we’ve launched a Patreon subscription service, which enables us to roll out new content and features to club members. One of these – a match-day chat room, hosted by Discord, where club members can message directly with members of the podcast team – is set to go live for Mayo’s first […]
The New Year has already seen football action at both inter-county and club levels, with Mayo edged out by Galway in the FBD League in the novel surroundings of the Air Dome at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence, while Kilmeena and Knockmore experienced contrasting fortunes in their respective Connacht football finals. In this first Mayo News football podcast episode […]
Mayo opened their inter-county year in the novel surroundings of the Air Dome in the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence this evening. Their FBD League semi-final against Galway was a helter-skelter affair on the very fast all-weather surface but it was the more inventive Tribesmen who stayed the distance better, winning by four points. We’d named an extremely experimental side […]
Details of our match-day 26 for this evening’s FBD League semi-final against Galway in the Dome (throw-in 6pm) were announced late last night. Here’s the starting fifteen and subs we’ve named for this pre-season outing: Mayo (FBD Connacht League semi-final v Galway, 7/1/2022): Rory Byrne (Castlebar Mitchels); Donnacha McHugh (Castlebar Mitchels), Padraig O’Hora (Ballina Stephenites), Sam Callinan (Ballina Stephenites); Paddy […]
Four months on from what most of us still regard as a bewildering All-Ireland final defeat to Tyrone, Mayo are back in inter-county action tomorrow evening. It’s just a pre-season outing but any match with Galway is likely to have a bit of a bite to it and this one will surely not be different. The FBD League semi-final between […]
