The Championship is over for this year and the Sam Maguire is back in the Kingdom. Kerry were deserving winners of last Sunday’s All-Ireland final, in which Galway put it up to them impressively in the first half before Jack O’Connor’s team came back strongly after the break to win by four points. In this episode of the Mayo News […]
For the neutral supporter, this was a cracking final. The result in this afternoon’s All-Ireland decider was in doubt right up until the final few minutes, with Kerry coming with a late surge, scoring four unanswered points to seal their first All-Ireland title since 2014 and their 38th in all. It was, I guess, a game of two halves. Galway […]
The Covid-era Christmas All-Ireland final was weird – as so much of life in those lockdown times was – but so too is today’s late-July Sam Maguire decider. This year’s Championship has gone by at dizzying speed, with the shutters coming clanging down on the 2022 inter-county season once today’s final is over. As it does, either Galway or Kerry […]

Sunday’s All-Ireland football final is hurtling towards us with indecent haste – everything about the inter-county calendar this year has been rush-rush, hurry-hurry – with the two teams that beat us in this year’s Championship set to battle it out for the Sam Maguire.

Every year since 2012 – bar 2018 – we’ve lost to the eventual winner of the Sam Maguire. That’s going to be the case this year too but we don’t yet know if that team will be Galway or Kerry. Enough about us. The last two days were all about the two counties who have made it through to this […]
I’m off down the road to Croke Park in a bit – and what a day for football it is too – but first it’s only right to do a quick post providing links to the games involving us played this weekend. Friday evening’s All-Ireland Minor defeat was as disappointing to us as it was thrilling for Galway, the neighbours’ […]
I’m not long in the door from Roscommon, with midnight just gone by so there’s no point spending too long on this one. Galway deservedly beat us in this evening’s All-Ireland Minor football final, in a game where we never really got going and where the team didn’t do themselves justice at all. There was a big crowd of over […]
