On what has proved to be a hugely historic day for Ireland’s rugby team, Mayo’s hurlers this afternoon put in their second big performance in a row to seal their second win in this year’s NHL Division 3A campaign. As they did last weekend against Monaghan, they banged in five goals today against Louth, winning at Darver by 5-19 to […]
Right, it’s approaching midweek so time to think about the matches involving the county that are on this coming weekend. There are four such matches, two on Saturday and the other two on Sunday. In camogie, we’ve a Camogie League Division 3A match against Kildare. That’s a home game, which has been fixed for Adrian Freeman Park in Tooreen where […]
Another all-or-nothing Championship match and yet another totemic Lee Keegan performance. In truth, Lee has been in cracking form all year but over the last two weekends, in knockout Championship ties, he’s been truly exceptional. Yesterday, when we were flailing badly, he was the man to steady us, defending resolutely, driving us forward and clipping over two badly needed scores. […]
Another day, another win over Kildare. Unlike the Senior team at Croke Park yesterday, Mayo’s U17s were in control of this afternoon’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Kildare at O’Connor Park for much of the game. Indeed, they looked to be easing to a comfortable double-digit victory when their opponents took a leaf out of our book from yesterday, by throwing caution […]
Here, courtesy of TG4 Sport via their YouTube channel, is the live stream of this afternoon’s All-Ireland U17 quarter-final between Mayo and Kildare. Throw-in at O’Connor Park in Tullamore is 2.30pm today. Best of luck to the lads this afternoon. Up Mayo.
Well, we’re still on the horse. Yesterday’s game was pretty bonkers, even by our standards, but we somehow came out the right side in the end and so we’re in Monday’s draw for the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Before looking at the match coverage, let’s box off the question of the draw first. The GAA put out a statement last night (here) […]
We never opt for the easy road. Facing a Kildare team who got hammered off the park last time out, the best and most straightforward approach for us would, one assumes, have been to bully them from the off. Instead, we let them set the terms for the contest and early in the second half it looked like we were […]
Because it’s the qualifiers, it’s no surprise that today’s match day has arrived with indecent haste after our last one only seven days ago. And, because of today’s opponents, we need no reminding that each day out in the qualifiers could well be our final Championship outing for the year. We’re strongly expected to beat Kildare in this evening’s Round […]
Earlier this morning we named our starting fifteen for tomorrow evening’s Round 2 qualifier against Kildare at Croke Park (throw-in 6pm). Here it is: Mayo (All-Ireland Qualifiers Round 2 v Kildare, 11/6/2022): Rob Hennelly (Breaffy); Lee Keegan (Westport), Oisín Mullin (Kilmaine), Enda Hession (Garrymore); Paddy Durcan (Castlebar Mitchels), Stephen Coen (Hollymount/Carramore, captain), Eoghan McLaughlin (Westport); Aidan O’Shea (Breaffy), Matthew Ruane […]
Right, another weekend is fast approaching and with it three more matches involving Mayo teams. Here are the details on them in the order they’ll be played. First up on this occasion are the county’s women footballers whose Championship campaign resumes on Saturday. The LGFA Championship is now at the group stage and our first match is against Tipperary. The […]
