Friday has rolled around once again and this weekend there are three Mayo matches – including a real biggie – taking place. Two of these are on tomorrow and the other one is on Sunday. First up tomorrow are the Mayo Masters. The greybeards (I’m allowed to use that term seeing as I currently sport one of those myself) take […]
The LGFA Championship got underway for Mayo this afternoon as they took on Galway in the Connacht SFC final at Tuam Stadium. It was a game that Galway led in throughout and won at the finish by four points. The opening quarter was ultra cautious, the only score coming for a free from Galway for a technical infringement in the […]
After three wins on the spin in the round-robin phase of this year’s Connacht U17 Championship coming into this game, Mayo’s meeting this evening with Galway at Tuam Stadium was expected to be a step up for them. If it was, then it was a challenge they were ready for as they blew their opponents away, winning emphatically by fourteen […]
We’ve named our match day panel for this evening’s Connacht U17 Championship clash with Galway at Tuam Stadium (throw-in 7pm). Here’s the list of the starting team and subs we’ve named for this Round 4 fixture: We’ve made one change to the team that got the better of Sligo last weekend.

Here are the details you need on all […]
After the Galway game, I stayed away from blogs and podcasts for a week or so. It was like when you would like a swim in the sea but the water just looked too cold. At half-time in the Galway game, it looked like we had got to grips with them and that the early jitters had been overcome. The […]
First of all I thought we fought very well to get back into the game in the first half. Someone said to me at half-time that it was now ours to lose especially with the strong breeze at our backs coming up. In my heart I felt this as well but at the same time having seen enough football through […]
I’m coming late to the party on this one – two days late, in fact – but it’s still worth noting the announcement made the other day about the Mayo LGFA Senior panel for this year’s Championship – which is here. Here’s the panel that was announced on Friday: A total of fourteen clubs from across the county are represented […]
Mayo’s Connacht U17 Championship campaign continued in a positive vein this evening. In a high-scoring encounter at James Stephens Park in Ballina, Seán Deane’s charges made it three wins from three outings as they overcame Sligo by 2-21 to 3-10. This latest win secures Mayo’s place in the knockout stages of the provincial Championship. They’re guaranteed at least a place […]
