After our six-week break from the action, we’re right back in it today. Our All-Ireland SFC group stage opening round match against Kerry throws in this afternoon at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, at 3pm. Seán Hurson of Tyrone is the ref and the game is being streamed live on GAAGO. I’m in the west myself this morning but it’s a long […]

We’re only two sleeps out now from the Kerry game but, after this yawning six-week gap since the Roscommon match, time seems to be dragging by so slowly. It doesn’t help, I guess, that the build-up has been as low key as it has ahead of what’s set to be the biggest clash so far in this year’s Championship. The […]
The sole focus this coming weekend for most people is, understandably, the big match against Kerry in Killarney on Saturday. It’s not, though, the only game involving the county that’s on this coming weekend. Here’s your essential info on the three matches that are taking place in which Mayo are involved. As usual, it’s the Minors who are up first. […]
Right, our long lay-off – for which we have Roscommon to thank – is almost over. From this weekend onwards and for as long as we’re involved in this year’s Championship, the longest break we’ll now get between games is a fortnight and only then, as Kevin McStay pointed out to Rob on the podcast last week, if we win […]
The week just gone was a hectic one for us on the Mayo Football Podcast, with four separate shows going online for our club members on Patreon during the week, featuring interviews with three separate Mayo managers. In this pod, Rob and I introduce a few segments from these four shows. Last Monday, Mike caught up with Mayo LGFA manager […]

Our Group 1 game against Kerry has been fixed for Saturday week (20th May) in Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, where throw-in will be 3pm. The match will be streamed live on GAA GO.
Today’s two dreadful provincial deciders answered a few questions and offered a few hints about how the summer might pan out. From our perspective, the main point of clarification was that Kerry’s facile Munster SFC final win over Clare confirms their place as the top-seeded team in Group 1. This means our opening match in the new All-Ireland group stage […]
This is a big weekend for Sligo’s footballers but, after this evening’s enthralling U20 All-Ireland semi-final win for the county over Kerry, it’s already guaranteed to be a great one. Tomorrow’s Nestor Cup decider is, of course, important for the Yeats County but a first-ever Championship win over Kerry, guaranteeing Sligo only their second ever appearance in an All-Ireland final, […]
Mayo enjoyed an emphatic win over All-Ireland champions Kerry at MacHale Park on Saturday night – the biggest win the county has recorded over the Green and Gold since 1948 – and in this podcast episode, which was made available to our club members the day after the game was played, we review the match against Kerry and get some […]
